If you are accepted and receive a travel scholarship, you will be given detailed instructions for registration and the process for booking travel. You will work with a travel agent who will make reservations on your behalf. For scholarship recipients, all hotel rooms have already been arranged. If you’re accepted and don’t have a travel scholarship, you will be contacted by the organizers with the option to stay in the conference hotel.
Who is eligible to attend OpenCon 2015 as a participant? Who qualifies as an early career researcher?
OpenCon’s target audience is students of all levels, early career researchers, and young professionals in fields related to scholarly and scientific research (e.g. librarians, professional advocates, etc). Early career academic professional is a flexible term and generally means someone within 8-10 years of the beginning of their professional career (i.e. after graduating with their terminal degree). Don’t let concern over whether you technically qualify as an early career researcher stop you from applying!
