[agents] AAMAS 2021: Scholarship Call

[AAMAS2021 Publicity Chair]

*Important Dates*


Application Submission Deadline: 12th of February 2021 (23:59 UTC-12)

Notification: 26th of February 2021 (23:59 UTC-12)


*Student Travel Support*


We are delighted to announce funding for the AAMAS 2021 student

scholarship applications (previously called travel support). This will

enable the virtual registration fees to be waived to successful applicants.


To be eligible you must be registered as a full-time student at a higher
education

institution (e.g. University).


In allocating awards, we will prioritise to students who are listed as

authors of a paper accepted for AAMAS 2021 (i.e., full paper or extended

abstract at the main conference). Scholarships will then be allocated to

students who had a paper accepted at an affiliated workshop or the

Doctoral Consortium. Funding permitting, we will also try and support

students who do not have a paper accepted but come from underrepresented

populations.


Please note that attending the conference is a requirement for being

supported. No support will be possible for students who do not attend

AAMAS 2021.


*Submission Requirements*


To apply, you are required to register and click to complete the Student

Scholarship Application Form within registration, via the following link:


https://tinyurl.com/aamas2021scholarship


The requested information includes a scanned student ID card certifying

you are registered as a full-time student.


We care about your privacy: the Student Scholarship Application Form is

compliant with GDPR (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj) and

your data will be kept, processed, and then destroyed, according to the

GDPR European regulations and the most recent US guidelines.


Please note that participation in the student scholarship program

carries with it an obligation to attend the conference and an

encouragement to volunteer to act as a student volunteer. Student

volunteers may be asked to support to conference in various ways, i.e.,

to help with running a particular session. Successful US applicants are

also asked to participate in the Doctoral Consortium (DC) either as a

presenter or as an attendee, with no obligation to have a paper accepted

at the DC. US applicants are also asked to write a short report on your

attendance at AAMAS.


Please submit your application by the 12th of February 2021 (11:59pm,

UTC-12) via the link above. We will notify you of your application

decision by the 26th of February 2021 (11:59pm, UTC-12).

If your application is successful, you will receive a code that you can

then use upon registration as a conference fee waiver.


Note: please, do wait to register for the conference until our

notification as we will not be able to payments that have already been

made.
