The KDD Workshop on Humanitarian Mapping (
https://kdd-humanitarian-mapping.herokuapp.com/) welcomes and encourages participation by people of all backgrounds and identities across the world. We are committed to fostering and sustaining an environment of respect and inclusivity. To increase participation at the workshop by underrepresented or historically marginalized groups, we are offering need-based diversity scholarships.
The scholarships will include complimentary registration to the 2020 KDD Humanitarian Mapping Workshop. Applicants from underrepresented and/or marginalized groups including, but not limited to: gender, identity, race, ethnicity, disabilities, socioeconomic status, discipline are encouraged to apply. The workshop organizers will review applications based on needs. Priority will be given to applicants who have their contributions accepted/submitted for presentation at the workshop. We also encourage other authors who have submitted the papers to the workshop and undergraduate students to apply.
Note that this scholarship will not cover the cost for the registration to the main KDD conference.
