In this page, we summarize the main options to get support to attend or register the conference (either as student or not). In all cases, if granted, a discount will be provided<\/strong> to the person who submitted the application, so it is important to not register<\/mark> until notification<\/strong> about the grant is received (since reimbursements are more difficult to do).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eligibility<\/strong>: we support general participants who have difficulties in funding, but we give priority to students and participants from developing countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fair Access Funding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The UMAP\u201922 organizing committee wants to help ensure broad participation in the conference and has set up a UMAP\u201922 Fair Access Fund (FAF) sponsored by SIGWEB<\/a>. The Fund offers different access to the conference depending on the needs of participants from countries designated<\/a> by ACM as \u201ceconomically developing\u201d, either as a discounted price (for paper presenters) or free of charge registrations (for online attendees).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Support Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This program is intended to help students attend UMAP. Preference in financial support is given to Doctoral Consortium presenters and to students who are first authors and will present the paper at the conference and whose advisors do not have a current research grant. Preference is given to PhD students and to underrepresented groups in computer science such as women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of this support given is based on the funds available, the student\u2019s expected travel expenses minus other sources of support, and the number of applicants. This is typically larger for authors of full papers and Doctoral Consortium presenters. All students receiving support may be requested to help with a small organization task during the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to note that part of the funding has special requirements<\/em> and may not be applicable to all the students. NSF Grant<\/strong> is used to support students who are studying in US institutions. The supported students should come from different universities. Or, if two of them happen to come from the same university, then at least one should be either a woman or a member of some other minority group. Namely, we may not be able to support multiple students who come from a same university. But other grants may cover it.
In this case, students must book flights with US flagged carriers<\/strong> (a carrier operating under a code share agreement with a US carrier is considered a US flag carrier as long as the ticket is issued using the US flag carrier\u2019s airline designator and flight number). Your airline tickets purchases are compliant with the Fly America Act (U.S. carrier or code shared flights are used). Enclosed please find links to the GSA Fly America Act https:\/\/www.gsa.gov\/policy-regulations\/policy\/travel-management-policy\/fly-america-act<\/a> and Code Share fact sheet https:\/\/www.gsa.gov\/travel\/plan-book\/transportation-airfare-rates-pov-rates-etc\/airfare-rates-city-pairs-programs\/resource-library\/code-share-fact-sheet<\/a> links, which explain the circumstances for use and provides links to the associated code share documents, including the FY18 domestic and international code shares https:\/\/www.gsa.gov\/cdnstatic\/FY18_Domestic_and_Intl_Code_Share_List.pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional funding available from SIGCHI<\/em>: Students are also encouraged to apply directly to the SIGCHI Gary Marsden Travel Awards: https:\/\/sigchi.org\/awards\/gary-marsden-travel-awards\/<\/a>, which is established in recognition of Gary Marsden\u2019s contributions and inspiration in HCI4D. The purpose is to support undergraduate and graduate students, early-career researchers (such as those who are \u2264 5 years post-graduation), and those suffering from financial hardship or lacking institutional support, in attending ACM SIGCHI conferences. The next deadline is on May 9th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joint Registration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate the co-location of 3 ACM conferences in Barcelona (ACM Hypertext, ACM UMAP, and ACM WebSci) we offer two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
