I have attended Auto-UI in the past, am I eligible?<\/span>
No, these fellowships are intended for members that are new to the Auto-UI conference.<\/p>\nI have attended another ACM or SIGCHI conference in the past, or another conference on an automotive topic than Auto-UI. Am I eligible?<\/span>
Yes, you are, as long as you have not attended Auto-UI in the past.<\/p>\nI have the nationality of a country that is part of the targeted continents. However, I currently pursue my PhD studies in another country. Am I eligible?<\/span>
This depends. You can only apply if you are formally enrolled for graduate studies (PhD studies) in one of the targeted continents.<\/div>\nFor example:<\/strong> Student A is born in China, but currently pursues a PhD degree in the United States. She is not eligible for the global fellowship, as the country where she is enrolled for studies is not part of a targeted continent. Student B is born in Japan, but currently pursues a PhD degree in India. She is eligible for the global fellowship, as India is part of one of the targeted continents (Asia). <\/em><\/p>\nI have the nationality of a country that is not part of the targeted continents, but I currently pursue my PhD studies in one of the targeted countries. Am I eligible?<\/span>
Yes, you meet the enrollment criteria.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
For example: <\/strong>Student C is born in the United States of America, but currently pursues a PhD degree in Brazil. She is eligible for the global fellowship, as the country where she is enrolled for studies is part of the targeted continents (South-America).<\/em><\/div>\n <\/div>\n
I am enrolled in a Bachelor’s program or a Master’s program, but not a PhD program. Am I eligible?<\/span>
No, these fellowships are only eligible for those enrolled in a PhD program.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
I am enrolled to start a PhD program in September 2019. Am I eligible?<\/span>
No, these fellowships are only eligible for those enrolled in a PhD program at the time of the application deadline.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
I am not yet a member of SIGCHI. Can I apply?<\/span>
Yes, you can apply. You need to become a SIGCHI member before the conference itself. So, you can become this after the award decision has been made.<\/div>\n<\/p>\nQuestions on application requirements and characteristics<\/p>\n
How many fellowships are there?<\/span>
The number of fellowships depends on whether we are able to acquire more funds. At this moment we have funding for 4 fellowships. <\/p>\nWill there be a similar fellowship next year?<\/span>
We have only acquired funding for one year (Auto-UI 2019 conference), and cannot make any statements about future years. <\/p>\nThe fellowship does not fully cover my flight and travel, are there other funds?<\/span>
We do not have funds beyond what we provide. Our intention is that the combination of our stipend and free registration can make a significant difference for students in deciding whether to attend or not. Auto-UI and ACM SIGCHI do not take responsibility for covering further funds. <\/p>\nWill I receive personal feedback on my fellowship decision?<\/span>
No, applicants only receive a yes\/no decision, without further motivation. The decisions on awarding Auto-UI Global Fellowships are made in a curated form. This entails that a committee will select and announce the winners. However, no further correspondence on why specific candidates were or were not chosen will not be provided. In our decision we balance multiple factors including but not limited to a diversity of geographic location, gender, research topics and methodological approach. Therefore, decisions also depend on the pool of candidates and limit our ability to reply to individuals. <\/p>\nWhat does shadowing a student volunteer entail?<\/span>
Student volunteers help the conference run smoothly. For example, they hand out badges to participants at registration and ensure that the conference has the right, welcoming look and feel that we want. Shadowing means that you will be provided with an opportunity to work with other student volunteers, without having full responsibilities for conference organization that a student volunteer has. That is, the main student volunteer will get tasks assigned, and you join them. Through this process, you benefit from getting to know some of our student volunteers well (who are your peers in the field) and you can get a unique insight into how the conference is ran and the senior people involved. We believe both are interesting features. <\/p>\nWhat topics fulfill the criterion “a topic that is relevant to the Auto-UI community”?<\/span>
We do not have a predefined list of what is or is not relevant. However, you can find a list of topics that are often represented at the conference here: https:\/\/www.auto-ui.org\/19\/authors\/authors\/#goto-topics <\/a>. <\/p>\nWhat does it mean that a poster needs to be presented in the work-in-progress track?<\/span>
During the conference, there is a track where researchers present ongoing work as a poster. This is the work-in-progress track. The conference organizers will make sure that there will also be space for you to present a poster during a session from this track. Your poster should meet the same requirements as those of a work-in-progress track poster. (which will be announced here: https:\/\/www.auto-ui.org\/19\/authors\/work-in-progress\/ ) <\/p>\nCan I take part in other parts of the conference, such as the keynote session, papers session, and demos?<\/span>
Yes, we expect the global fellows to actively take part in the conference in a way that is sensible for them. We expect you to attend the majority of presentations, and to engage with posters and demos, and to meet people during the conference. However, we won’t keep track of what talks you attended \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\nDo I need to book my own travel and accommodation?<\/span>
Yes, you need to do this yourself. <\/p>\nHow will I receive my stipend?<\/span>
We are currently arranging this with ACM SIGCHI. We cannot guarantee that you will have received your stipend before you make costs associated with the conference.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
