Travel Grants
ISCA and INTERSPEECH 2019 are jointly offering grants to students and young scientists, aged 34 and under in order to support their participation in the INTERSPEECH 2019 Conference. Each grant award includes early student registration, a 1-year ISCA student membership and a cash award.
