Types of Sponsorships offered by GRSS
Conferences may apply to have GRSS Financial Co-Sponsorship (FCS) or Technical Co-Sponsorship (TCS):
Technical Co-Sponsorship (TCS)
GRSS will not have financial responsibility. It actively participates in the conference technical-program committee, but accepts no financial or legal liability for the conference. The organization that has financial sponsorship of the symposium must be explicitly identified in the supporting documentation and promotional material for technical co-sponsorship to be granted. The IEEE name may not be used in the conference title but, the IEEE and/or GRSS logo may be used in conference publications and promotional materials.
Technical Co-Sponsorship Submission
The organizers of the symposium must send a formal proposal to the GRSS
Vice President of Meetings and Symposia to initiate the process of obtaining
technical co-sponsorship from IEEE GRSS. Please note that if the proposed
conference conflicts with any other major GRSS-sponsored conference, it
might not be considered for TCS or FCS approval.
