ACM Multimedia 2010 Call for Student Scholarship Applications

The ACM Multimedia conference is the main annual conference of ACM SIGMM. It provides a great opportunity for researchers to present their work, get acquainted with the work of others, and discuss with colleagues both junior and senior. To promote this form of cooperation, the SIG and its sponsors make conference participation grants available for several students.

A scholarship is meant to support personal attendance of one student at the main conference. Students selected for the award will be reimbursed for the advance registration fee (including main conference, workshop or tutorials) and travel expenses up to a fixed amount. Individual scholarships may cover additional expenses subject to conditions of individual sponsors. Students will have to make their own arrangements for travel and accommodation.
