AVAILABLE GRANTS

The VLDB Endowment attendance grants provide financial support 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 attend the VLDB 2021 conference virtually. Nevertheless, students from all over the world are encouraged to apply.

The long-term goal of the program is to encourage talented young scientists to pursue a career in database research. The VLDB Attendance Support Program provides grants for roughly 50 virtual attendees funded by the VLDB Endowment. These will allow free registration for virtual attendees. The free registration amount will be provided by a voucher code at registration time.

ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION CRITERIA

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 must explicitly state that they do not have any 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 2021 is welcome but not mandatory.
