WiGRAPH events

Are you interested in hosting a WiGRAPH event at an upcoming academic graphics conference? WiGRAPH offers planning and funding support.

What types of events does WiGRAPH organize?

WiGRAPH events come in various formats, but they are all designed to fulfill WiGRAPH’s mission of empowering women to pursue cutting-edge research in computer graphics.

Where are WiGRAPH events held?

WiGRAPH events are always co-located with CG conferences. Priority will be given to larger, more established, international, and diverse conferences.

What kind of support can WiGRAPH provide?

While the applicant will be responsible for leading the event planning, the WiGRAPH executive team will assist by promoting the event and may provide partial or full funding, depending on costs and available budget.

What can the funding be used for?

WiGRAPH can support event related expenses such as food (lunch, coffee, etc.), advertisement (flyers, posters etc.), as well as venue rent and setup. Please refer to this document for an example of a budget. We ask you to share a budget estimation in the application form.

How to apply?

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, 3-12 months before an event. If the event is later in the year (e.g., in the fall), it is recommended to apply earlier in the year (e.g., in the spring) because we operate on a yearly budget, which might have run out by the end of the year.
