Dear Nominator,
To support the participation fellowship application for a student or young researcher in VLDB 2022, some information from the nominator is required. Therefore, we kindly ask you to fill the form below by September 1, 2022.
Additionally, nominators are kindly asked to send an extra email from their official university email-account to:
vldbfellowships@gmail.com before September 1, 2022 with the subject line of the email being "VLDB 2022 Online Participation Support Nomination for <name-of-applicant-here>" in which they confirm their nomination of the applicant.
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.
Should you have any problems with filling in the forms, please contact us via
