GRANTS AND PRIZES

AISC Student Travel Grants

Three Student Travel Grants (up to 250 euros each, plus the 2025 AISC membership fee) are available to support the attendance of AISC student members at the conference. 

Undergraduate and graduate students who plan to attend the conference can apply for travel support. Any student whose paper is accepted for presentation is eligible. Awardees will be selected based on submission quality as emerged from the reviewers’ scores (in case of equal judgment, the younger candidate will have precedence). After acceptance, selected authors will be contacted by the AISC Conference Awards Chairs. 

Student authors who want to be considered for the grant as part of the submission process can email aisc2025@imtlucca.it

Vittorio Girotto Prize, Best Paper AISC 

The best accepted works are eligible for the Best Paper AISC prize, established in memory of Vittorio Girotto. 

Authors of selected contributions accepted at the conference will receive an invitation to submit an extended version of their works to the journal “Sistemi Intelligenti.” The Editorial Board of “Sistemi Intelligenti” will evaluate the contributions and determine the winning paper. 

The prize consists of a €1,000 award, the publication with special mention in “Sistemi Intelligenti,” and a €300 book voucher from the journal's publisher, Il Mulino. Other finalist papers will be mentioned in the journal and might be published there as well if deemed of adequate scientific value by the Editorial Board.

Maria Miceli Prize

The best accepted works on topics involving the psychology of emotions, social interaction, anticipation, and values are eligible for the Marica De Vincenzi Foundation's Maria Miceli Prize. 

The prize consists of a €1,000 award, as well as the publication of the winning work in the journal "Sistemi Intelligenti.” The prize is open to any work presented at AISC or AIP conferences that addresses the themes of Maria Miceli's research, for whom the prize is named. 

The AISC executive board and the conference organizing committee will select the AISC nominees, who must then submit full papers, following deadlines and formats that will be published on the AISC website.
