EuroSys Grants

Thanks to generous donations from our supporters, the sponsors, and ACM SIGOPS, EuroSys offers several grants to enable students, post-docs, and faculty worldwide to attend the conference. The grants cover the EuroSys conference registration, including meals, and possibly some contribution toward accommodation and travel expenses.

Grants will be awarded by the grant committee based on a combination of need and merit. Students receiving a travel grant need to agree to serve as a session scribe (if required) during the conference. Applicants are encouraged to participate in the poster session and the workshops.

Who can apply?

Funding is available to all students, post-docs, and faculty at educational institutions world-wide.

How to apply

Applications have to be submitted at https://hotcrp.doc.ic.ac.uk/eurosys17grants/. This is a HotCRP-based submission site that collects applications. The following information is requested from all applicants:

Paper title (fixed): Grant application
Author (only one): Give your name, email, and affiliation
Abstract: State here the anticipated travel expenses
Participation in EuroSys 2017 …: Describe briefly your participation in EuroSys and/or the workshops
Motivation statement: A short explanation of the expected benefits from attending the conference and why the grant should be awarded. The statement should describe ongoing research and recent papers published by the applicant. It should be no longer than one page. Please write in English and use ASCII-only text.
Do NOT submit at PDF file, even though the site asks for one. Your application is complete and will be considered without a PDF file, assuming you fill in the fields above.

Students are also requested to provide:

A letter of recommendation from the advisor supporting the application. The advisor’s statement should be sent separately from the student’s application by plain text e-mail to the grant chairs (see below). The “Subject” line should contain the keyword “Eurosys 2017” and student’s name.

Important Notes

Receivers of a EuroSys Grant will register with a special promotion code. Therefore, applicants shall not register for the conference until they have received the notification of acceptance from the grant chairs. This is still before the early registration deadline.
