Hi all,
On behalf of Laurel Pardue it is my pleasure to announce that Ableton are proud to sponsor a number of student and regular registrations for NIME 2021 in collaboration with the NIME diversity committee. The NIME diversity committee's mission is to help broaden the NIME community and improve inclusivity and respect especially towards under-represented groups, be that in regards to gender, ethnicity, disability, area of study, or financial ability. If you feel you could benefit from a scholarship to cover your registration, please apply. As places are limited, please do not apply if you are able to get funding through your affiliate institution.
To be eligible you must complete the application form: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/T1AKEH/
The application is short and simple, requesting some personal data and asking you to justify in 250 words or less why you are applying for funding and why we should fund you. The first round of applications will close by 19th April (GMT midnight) in order for the diversity committee to award scholarships prior to the April 24th early bird registration deadline. We apologise for the short notice. If not all registration scholarships are claimed, we will hold further rounds until all scholarships have been claimed.
Preference will be given to those who have a submission accepted to NIME 2021 but all are welcome to apply. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to interested parties.
Thanks,
Laurel, Juan and Anna (WiNIME)
NIME Diversity Committee Officers
