ChinaSIP is a new initiative launched by the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) in 2012. Organizationally, the ChinaSIP initiative is overseen by a steering committee consisting of a balanced group of domestic colleagues and global leaders. The first ChinaSIP Summit and Conference will be held in Beijing in 6-10 July 2013.

Qualified student branches are encouraged to start preparing now to submit comprehensive, well justified applications and to ensure time to arrange the three required letters of support all by the November 15 deadline.
