Financial support
If you would like to join the IndabaX but do not have access to funding, you can apply for some or all of these categories of financial support:
-
Registration waiver means that you get full admission to the conference without paying a registration fee.
-
Accommodation grant typically means that we book a bed in a shared room at the student residence for you. These are simple rooms where you have to bring your own towels and blankets. While the conference caters for lunch, coffees and some evening snacks, you will be responsible for all other meals during the duration of the event, as well as during travel times.
-
Travel grant typically consist of a seat in a dedicated bus, or a lump sum payment of the price equivalent of a bus ticket or petrol allowance into your account. In rare occasions we may decide to sponsor a flight ticket. You will be responsible for booking the itinerary. Although we try our best to allocate funding fairly, the travel grant might not cover all your expenses, and we do not cover travel to and from the bus terminal or airport. Travel grants have to be reimbursed to us in case of no-shows without reason. Note that we strictly do not cover travel from outside of South Africa unless specifically negotiated.
Financial support is highly competitive, and allocated through an application process in which a panel of judges take into account your motivation for financial support, the level of support you ask for and your existing involvement in the machine learning community. We try to communicate the outcome of your application around two months before the event, but slots may free up until right before the IndabaX starts.
Applications for financial support are submitted through the Baobab platform.
Invitation letters
Formal invitation letters for the presentation at embassies or work places can be self-generated in the Baobab system upon successful registration.
