We are very pleased to be able to offer stipends to financially assist students
who wish to attend Eurocrypt 2025.
The general fund for stipends is provided by the generous support from our
Silver, Gold, and Platinum sponsors,
and will be especially used to increase diversity within the
cryptographic community. For this reason, we strongly encourage applications
from women and members of other historically underrepresented groups.
Furthermore, we have a limited number of stipends for (Bachelor, Masters,
or PhD) students enrolled in Spanish institutions, thanks to a donation
from the Centro de Ciberseguridad Ayuntamiento de Madrid (CCMAD)
and the IMDEA Software Institute.
Students presenting a paper at Eurocrypt 2025
If you are a student presenting at Eurocrypt 2025, your registration fee will be covered by the Cryptography Research Fund for Student Presenters. Please contact the General Chair before registering to obtain a registration waiver token. Students falling into this category do not need to apply for a stipend (unless in need of additional financial support). When you ask for a registration waiver, please indicate whether your IACR dues have been paid by registering to an IACR conference earlier in 2025.
Application procedure
The application process is a two-part process, which requires the submission of an application by the student and a statement of support by the supervisor. An application is not considered complete unless both are submitted. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure their supervisor fills out the supervisor form; the submission form will not contact or remind the supervisor.
The deadline for stipends application has passed, and no further applications are being accepted.
If you are a student presenting at Eurocrypt 2025, you can still ask for a registration waiver (see above).
If you will need a visa to attend the conference, please check this page and start the visa request at your earliest convenience, independently of the stipend notification.
Deadlines
-
Complete applications (both student and supervisor forms) should be received by February 17, 2025 (AoE)
-
Notifications: February 26, 2025
Additional information
Applicants should be aware that we do not usually fund all of an awardee’s attendance costs. Thus an applicant is likely to also need to supplement the funds from other sources.
The awarded stipend will usually cover the cost of registration to the conference and exceptionally we will provide accommodation or travel. The exact number of stipend awardees will be dependent on the overall funding available for stipends. Although the registration fee for students is not yet published, we expect it to be similar to previous Eurocrypt editions.
Please contact Pedro Moreno-Sanchez with any questions.
