SIGecom is pleased to offer travel grants to facilitate in-person attendance at EC 2024 by students and, separately, by any researcher (including students) from low and middle income countries (LMICs). In the likely event that requests exceed available funds in each category, preference will be given to authors of accepted papers, researchers from LMICs, members of gender minorities, and those who would either face financial hardship or would not be able to attend EC without funding. If awarded and depending on demand, funding for the conference is like to be $500 – $1000 USD and will not cover full expenses for any attendee.
Additionally, SIGecom is pleased to offer childcare grants that will assist with the costs associated with providing childcare while attending the ACM EC conference. Please note, we will not be providing direct childcare for the conference, and you will be responsible for making your own childcare arrangements.
The conference will also have a rich virtual offering which does not necessitate in-person travel. Students and LMIC researchers for whom these registration fees would pose a barrier are invited to fill out the below application, and indicate they are only interested in virtual attendance.
EC’s registration system will open soon and will be posted via the website. We will also send an email to sigecom-talk@googlegroups.com, so please ensure that you have joined the Google group.
If you’re interested in applying to either of these opportunities, please fill out the following form by June 7, 2024. We’re looking forward to seeing you all at the Yale School of Management from July 8 – 11, 2024!
