[DMANET] [CP 2024] - Call for DEI Scholarship

Dear all,

find below the call for DEI Scholarship for CP 2024.
*
*
*Call for DEI Scholarship*

We are pleased to announce the CP 2024 DEI (Diversity, Equity,
Inclusion) programme, which includes scholarship and mentoring to
support the participation and networking of the underrepresented
early-career researchers, as well as a special event during the
conference to raise awareness.

*Eligibility*

While the special event is open to all the conference participants, the
scholarship and mentoring are intended for early-career researchers
(with a maximum of 8 active years since their PhD) who have historically
been underrepresented, for instance in terms of geographical region,
cultural background, gender identity, and disability. Applicants may be
new to the CP community or already have experience in the field.
Applicants with experience in other related fields who would like to
learn more about CP are also welcome to apply. ACP membership is not
required but strongly recommended.

*Scholarship*

The scholarship includes a conference-fee waiver. An additional small
amount of travel funding could be offered for applicants who would not
be able to attend the conference otherwise. Note that this amount is
likely to vary by scholar.

*Mentoring*

Applicants will be paired with a mentor from the CP community who is
attending the conference. The mentor will meet the applicant during the
conference to discuss the applicant's research, give career advice, and
help networking.

*Application*

Please complete this form
<https://doit.medfarm.uu.se/bin/kurt3/kurt/8871190>. The deadline is
*Sunday, July 7th*, 2024.

The application must include:

* A short CV of up to 2 pages.
* A short statement (up to 500 words) describing: (a) how attending
CP2024 will help further their career goals, and (b) why diversity,
equity, and inclusion in the CP field are important to them.
* A short paper of up to 8 pages (references excluded) with suitable
keywords. This could be a summary of an original completed research
work or the description of an ongoing research project. The
submission format is the same as that of the main conference. That
is, the authors should adhere to the LIPIcs guidelines
<https://submission.dagstuhl.de/series/details/5#author>.

All attachments should be in PDF format. *
