FOSS4G-ASIA 2023 Seoul Toward Future of FOSS4G in Asia Travel Grant Program Who is eligible? The travel grants are available to individuals from Asian countries, with a focus on assisting those who would not be able to attend otherwise. If you have the means to attend on your own, we kindly request that you refrain from applying. In an effort to foster a diverse community, priority will be given to students, women, and minority attendees from low-income and lower-middle-income countries as classified by the World Bank (see: https://blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/new-world-bank-country-classifications-...). These groups have historically been underrepresented in the open-source community, and we strive to address this disparity. Applicants who have been selected as conference speakers will be given preference. What is included? Travel grants include a discounted admission to the main conference and round-trip airfare. However, please note that accommodation expenses will not be covered, and participants will be responsible for arranging their own accommodations. Upon registration, we kindly request a payment of USD 50 as a commitment to attending the conference. How do I apply? The application process will be open from June 1st until August 11th on the FOSS4G-ASIA Seoul 2023 website. Please download the application form provided below, fill it out, and send it to the FOSS4G-ASIA Seoul 2023 committee at foss4g-asia-2023-seoul-info@googlegroups.commailto:foss4g-asia-2023-seoul-info@googlegroups.com with the subject line ‘[Travel Grants]’. In your application, please address the following questions: ‘Why should I attend FOSS4G-ASIA 2023 Seoul?’ and/or ‘How have I contributed to the open-source community?’ If you are from a low-income or lower-middle-income economy, it is mandatory to include a scan of your passport with your application. All applicants will be notified of the status of their application.
