CALL FOR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS (Deadline: October 29!)

ACM SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop, Los Angeles, CA

Tuesday, January 9, 2018

Co-located with POPL 2018

Web page: https://popl18.sigplan.org/track/PLMW-POPL-2018

After the resounding success of the first six Programming Languages
Mentoring Workshops at POPL 2012-2017 we proudly announce the 7th SIGPLAN
Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop (PLMW), co-located with POPL 2018
and organised by Nadia Polikarpova, Alexandra Silva, Viktor Vafeiadis and
Steve Zdancewic.

The purpose of this mentoring workshop is to encourage graduate students
and senior undergraduate students to pursue careers in programming language
research. This workshop will bring together world leaders in programming
languages research and teaching from academia and industry to provide (a)
technical sessions on cutting-edge PL research and (b) mentoring sessions
on how to prepare for a research career. The workshop will engage students
in a process of imagining how they might contribute to our research
community.

We especially encourage women and underrepresented minority students, and
people with disabilities to attend PLMW.

This workshop is part of the activities surrounding POPL, the Symposium on
Principles of Programming Languages, and takes place the day before the
main conference. One goal of the workshop is to make the POPL conference
more accessible to newcomers. We hope that participants will stay through
the entire conference.

A number of sponsors (listed below) have generously donated scholarship
funds for qualified students to attend PLMW. These scholarships should
cover reasonable expenses (airfare, hotel, and registration fees) for
attendance at both the workshop and the POPL conference.

Students attending this year will get one year free student membership of
SIGPLAN, unless they prefer to opt out during their application.

The workshop registration is open to all. Students with alternative sources
of funding are welcome as well.

APPLICATION for PLMW scholarship:

The scholarship application can be accessed from the workshop web site.
