SIGWEB Fair Access Grant<\/b><\/p>\n
SIGWEB is committed to promoting fair access to its conferences. To achieve this goal, SIGWEB is increasing and broadening the student support offered at these events. This initiative aims to reduce financial barriers for students as well as early researchers from economically developing countries, thus enabling broader participation in conferences and creating a more inclusive academic community.<\/p>\n
Grant amount:<\/i>\u00a0The total grant amount allocated for WebSci 2026 is of 10,000 USD. The size of the award to an individual may vary depending on various factors such as the number of qualified applicants or the distance travelled, but is capped at a maximum of 1,000 USD for each individual application. Applicants may submit applications prior to learning whether their papers have been accepted. However, preference will be given to individuals who have an accepted paper and who will be presenting that work themselves.<\/p>\n
