The Ninth IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop
10th-13th July 2016, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Welcome to Rio de Janeiro! - The workshop will be held at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, located in Gávea, in a superb area surrounded by beaches, mountains and the Tijuca National Forest, the world's largest urban forest. Rio de Janeiro is a world renowned city for its culture, beautiful landscapes, numerous tourist attractions and international cuisine. The workshop will take place during the first half of July about a month before the 2016 Summer Olympic Games when Rio will offer plenty of cultural activities and festivities, which will make SAM 2016 a memorable experience.

Student grants
- The IEEE SAM 2016 Organizing Committee is pleased to announce student
grants to support attendance of student authors to the event in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. The grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to up to
8 applicants who need financial support to attend IEEE SAM 2016. The grants
consist of free student registration and accommodation for up to 5 nights at
a hostel near PUC-Rio. The grants are subject to a full registration
(possibly by the supervisor) covering the paper. Note that the recipients
would need to obtain funds for travel from other sources. The deadline to
submit a grant application is 26th February, 2016. Please
send your grant request to Rodrigo de Lamare (delamare@cetuc.puc-rio.br)
with:
- A brief letter from your supervisor providing your status
(M.S., Ph.D., year of study) and the need for the support;
- The
paper number(s) on which you are an author or a co-author;
When
applying for the student grant, please use the subject [IEEE SAM 2016
Student Grant] in your email for grant request.
IEEE SPS student
travel grants - The IEEE SAM 2016 Organizing Committee will also
coordinate the selection of IEEE SPS student travel grants to support
attendance of student authors to the event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The
grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to up to 5 applicants who need
financial support to attend IEEE SAM 2016. The grants consist of an amount
paid to the a student in a local currency. Note that the applicants
must be IEEE SPS student members. The deadline to submit a grant
application is
31st March, 2016. Please send your grant
request to Rodrigo de Lamare (
