VLDB 2022 Application for Support of Online  Participation - Applicant Form
Dear Applicant,

This form is for applying for a fellowship to participate virtually in VLDB 2022, which takes place online (and also physically in Sydney Australia) on September 5-9, 2022 (http://vldb.org/2022). While fellowships for in-person attendance have closed,  we now offer fellowships for virtual participation, funded by the VLDB Endowment. Below are further details.

The VLDB Endowment participation grants provide financial support for online-only registration to students and young researchers affiliated with universities with limited funding opportunities. Grants have a strong focus on universities in developing countries (as listed by ACM - https://services.acm.org/public/qj/proflevel/countryListing.cfm?promo=PWEBTOP&form_type=Professional) to participate online in the VLDB 2022 conference.

The long-term goal of the program is to encourage talented young scientists to pursue a career in database research. The VLDB Online Participation Support Program provides grants for roughly 100 virtual attendees funded by the VLDB Endowment. These will allow free registration for virtual attendees,  provided by a voucher code to be entered at registration time.

ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION CRITERIA

For VLDB Endowment grants:

Applicants must be full-time students in good standing (graduate or undergraduate) or postdoctoral fellows/researchers, who are either

  *   affiliated with universities that do not already have considerable presence at VLDB conferences
or
  *   have a paper at the conference (or associated events).

Applicants for the offered participation support must explicitly state that they do not have sufficient other funding to attend. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate keen interest in database research and are from regions that are under-represented in the database community; presenting a paper accepted at the main conference or the workshops in VLDB 2022 is welcome but not mandatory.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Applicants should fill in the form below by September 1, 2022. Applicants must also have a nominator (faculty advisor for student applicants, or senior faculty member or department head for postdoc and research assistant applicants), who must fill in the nominator form following the link: https://forms.gle/zx8iSDPjkcLNhMqL7 

Additionally, nominators are kindly asked to send an extra email from their official email-account to: vldbfellowships@gmail.com before September 1, 2022 with the subject line of the email being "VLDB 2022 Attendance Support Nomination for [applicant name]" in which they confirm their nomination of the applicant.

Should you have any problems with opening the links or filling in the forms, please contact us via vldbfellowships@gmail.com. Please note: Applications of US students will be automatically assessed also for the NSF-funded travel grant. US-students do not need to follow a separate application process.

Selected candidates will be informed by September 3, 2022. Persons applying for participation support are advised to not register before hearing from us since awarded support includes a code that will permit free registration.
