Student volunteers help keep the conference running smoothly; in return, they have free accommodations, while still having most of the time to enjoy the conference.
Pay attention: the places are limited so do not wait till the last minute to apply.
For which period are accommodations covered? Accommodations are covered from Sunday to Friday, August (including nights from Sunday to Monday and from Thursday to Friday). Students will be hosted in student rooms. ESUG additionally covers for the lunches during the week and one dinner.
Which costs are not covered? Travel costs preceding the conference, unless it is necessary (please contact us at board@esug.org).
Past duties have involved handling registration as people arrive at the conference, staffing coffee machines, collecting presentation slides for ESUG right after the presentation is given, being present at an information desk to answer questions, and generally being helpful. Student volunteering makes the conference better, take a fairly small amount of time and doesn't significantly interfere with enjoying and learning from the conference. Still, it requires discipline and constant attention to all attendees.
If you want an additional night, it will cost you 26€ (breakfast included).
