Awards
Awards? Of course:)
At least one best presentation and one best poster will be awarded. The exact number of winners and the cash value will depend on the number of participants. Each winner will be awarded with cash prize and a certificate, special winner's interview and some other surprises.
Also if you are an active student member of SPIE, OSA and/or IEEE, you can win CROPS 2017 Travel Grant. To try and apply for this grant you need to show your SPIE/OSA/IEEE IDs, check the appropriate box in the registration form and attach your CV.
