SIGWEB Research and Conference Event Grants
SIGWEB supports the research community through two complementary grant programs:
- Research and Outreach Event Grants support independent research activities that advance collaboration and knowledge exchange within SIGWEB’s areas of interest.
- In-Conference Event Grants support activities organized in conjunction with SIGWEB-sponsored conferences that enrich the conference experience and foster community engagement.
Research and Outreach Event Grant
SIGWEB offers grants of up to $5.000 to support small research events that are relevant to research communities within the scope of SIGWEB. Examples of such events are workshops, tutorials and hackathons, but also research exchanges, guest lectures and community outreach events.
In-Conference Event Grant
As conferences are social events, SIGWEB actively supports additional events to be organized surrounding our conferences. Examples of such events are
- summer schools for students,
- exhibitions to reach out to the local community of researchers or laypersons,
- technology policy activities,
- and special gatherings.
Community members are encouraged to actively propose such events, in coordination with the conference organizers. The total grant amount allocated for each conference is $5.000.
