In an initiative to help support the participation of European students at
the 2018 SIGGRAPH conference, the Institute of Science and Technology (IST)
Austria is launching a competition to support strong European SIGGRAPH
volunteers with travel funds to and from the 2018 SIGGRAPH Conference.
All students currently enrolled at institutions in Europe who are also
applying to the SIGGRAPH volunteers program are eligible to apply. Note that students
have to apply for both programs, the SIGGRAPH volunteers program and the IST Austria travel award, separately.
Our application uses similar materials as the SIGGRAPH Student Volunteer application. All applicants will be asked to provide a current transcript (official or unofficial) or an
enrollment verification letter from your institution's registrar, the name
of the school and program you are currently enrolled in, expected
graduation year, and a short statement answering the following two
questions:
1. The SIGGRAPH Conference is the premier international event on computer
graphics and interactive techniques. The SIGGRAPH Student Volunteer Program
brings in students from all over the world each year who are passionate
about computer graphics, service-oriented, and inspired to be the industry
leaders of tomorrow.Tell us why you would like to be considered for
participation in the SIGGRAPH Student Volunteer Program. What interests you
about SIGGRAPH in particular, and why would you be a good fit for our team
this year?
2. SIGGRAPH brings in thousands of attendees from all over the world every
year. Student Volunteers play a very crucial role in helping attendees to
have a worthwhile conference experience. Because of this, Student
Volunteers must exhibit a very strong ability to work with a wide range of
cultural differences. Tell us about a time when you interacted with
individuals from a different background than your own, and outline what you
learned from your experience.
All application materials should be sent as a single pdf to
[email protected] no later than April 15 2018. More information about
the [SIGGRAPH volunteers program can be found here](https://s2018.siggraph.org/conference/conference-overview/student-volunteers/student-volunteers-submissions/).
Application materials will be reviewed by IST Austria Computer Graphics
faculty [Bernd Bickel](http://berndbickel.com/) and [Chris Wojtan](
http://pub.ist.ac.at/group_wojtan/). Applicants will be evaluated on the
potential for a career in Computer Graphics. Consideration will be
conditional on acceptance to the SIGGRAPH volunteers program, and priority
will be given to students studying towards their bachelor's or master's
degrees in a computer graphics-related field. The winners of the
competition will be awarded with travel funds of up to 1000 euros to cover
the costs of transportation and accommodation at the conference. Candidates
will be notified of the outcome of the competition latest in May.
For questions, please contact [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
Previous year's winners:
Annemieke Verbraeck from TU Delft (2017), Domna Banakou from University of Barcelona (2016).
