The IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT) is the premier international conference on information theory, the scientific discipline that studies the mathematical foundations of efficient, reliable, and secure communications, e.g., for telephony, television, wireless, optical, and data storage systems. It has been promoted under the umbrella of the IEEE Information Theory Society (ITSoc) since 1954, originally every two years and annually since 2000. Recent editions of the ISIT have had around 1000 paper submissions with 600 papers accepted and 850 participants including 350 students who benefit from the excellent learning and networking opportunity that ISIT provides. This award supports the participation of US-based students in ISIT 2024, which will be held in Athens, Greece from July 7-12, 2024. Participation at this conference will enhance the research experiences for students and provide increased opportunities for new collaborations.Students form an integral part of the Information Theory community, and the IEEE ISIT Conference continues to promote student participation through the ISIT Jack Kiel Wolf Best Student Paper Award, the creation of the ISIT tutorial series, and the Information Theory Society Student Committee. Students comprise about one-third of the participants at ISIT, and the travel funds offered through this award will support the attendance at the 2024 ISIT by students enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program in the United States and whose papers have been accepted for presentation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

IEEE国际信息理论研讨会（ISIT）是国际信息理论会议，这是研究高效，可靠和安全沟通的数学基础的科学学科，例如，用于电话，电视，无线，光学，光学和数据存储系统。自1954年以来，它一直在IEEE信息理论协会（ITSOC）的保护下，最初每两年，每年一次。iSIT的最新版本大约有1000篇论文提交的纸张提交，其中有600篇论文和850名参与者，包括350名学生，他们从ISIT提供的出色学习和网络机会中受益。 This award supports the participation of US-based students in ISIT 2024, which will be held in Athens, Greece from July 7-12, 2024.
