Google Conference Scholarships

At Google, we believe a diversity of attributes, experiences, and perspectives are needed to build tools that can change the world. We also believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to pursue connections in the industry, networking with peers, and a career path in technology. To help break down the barriers that prevent underrepresented groups in technology and business from attending leading conferences, we're excited to offer Google Conference Scholarships for selected conferences in the tech industry and related fields

Eligibility

To be eligible for a scholarship to attend an international conference, applicants must:

• Studying computer science, computer engineering, or a technical field related to the conference subject.
• Have a paper accepted for presentation (oral or poster) in the main conference program at a top-tier Computer Science conference. We prefer to support conferences in research areas where Google has a strong interest. Please visit research.google.com for a list of areas. The paper must be accepted for full publication and preferably a full oral presentation. Workshop papers will not be approved for travel scholarships.
• Be the sole or joint first author of the accepted paper.

DEADLINE: 01 AUGUST 2021
