To improve outreach and diversity among young researchers in the field of simulation, the INFORMS Simulation Society is proud to award sponsorship each year to assist graduate students or postdocs in attending the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC).
We especially encourage applications from women, underrepresented minorities, international students, or students who may add to the diversity of the community in other ways; however, this award is not limited to specific genders or ethnic groups. This year, in light of the global pandemic, WSC is following a hybrid format with a choice of attending virtually or in person. Applicants can therefore opt to use the award as an honorarium to cover travel expenses or, if attending virtually, have their registration fees refunded.
The WSC Diversity Committee is looking forward to receiving high-quality applications for the 2022 WSC meeting in December. Please fill out the
application form, which requires a letter of intent written by the applicant, and a letter of recommendation written by an adviser, and
submit the form by November 16, 2022.Chang-Han Rhee
