Student VolunteeringICFP 2020

Sign up to be a Student Volunteer and help us make ICFP 2020 a unique experience for all attendants!

ICFP is pleased to offer a number of opportunities for student volunteers, who are vital to the efficient operation and continued success of the conference each year. The student volunteer program is a chance for students from around the world to participate in the conferences whilst assisting us in preparing and running the event.

Update on Student Volunteering in relation to COVID-19

Even though the conference will be held online, we will still need student volunteers to help with the conference organization. In exchange for a fixed number of work hours (usually from 10 to 15) helping with the conference organization, you will be able to closely interact with researchers, mentors, and other students at ICFP 2020. You will also be able to boast that you volunteered in the first ever virtual ICFP!

Eligibility

Applicants can be undergraduate, Master’s, Ph.D. full- or part-time students, of computer science or related fields.

Duration

Applicants must be available for at least four (4) full days between the 22nd and 28th of August, and will be expected to provide up to 15 hours of volunteering work in that time.

About Volunteering

The skills, talents and dedication of the Student Volunteers contribute to the overall quality of the Conference. The Student Volunteer role this year will mainly involve preparing for the conference by helping manage videos from participants, and managing Slack channels as well as the other various social media.
