Venue

This year’s conference will be hosted at the London College of Communication (LCC), part of University of Arts London. Located in the vibrant district of Elephant and Castle, LCC is a leading centre for creativity, media, and innovation.

The campus sits within one of the capital’s most dynamic and rapidly evolving neighbourhoods, where global influences blend with local culture. Thanks to its central position and excellent transport connections, LCC provides an ideal base for exploring London while attending the conference.

Grants

ACM SIGWEB is committed to promoting fair access to its conferences and to achieve this goal, SIGWEB is increasing and broadening the student support offered at these events. This initiative aims to reduce financial barriers for students as well as early researchers from economically developing countries, thus enabling broader participation in conferences and creating a more inclusive academic community.

This year we are supporting students through three routes, all adminstered via EasyChair:

  • Summer School Grants
  • Travel Awards
  • Fair Access Grants

Eligibility. These funds supports students and early researchers, especially the ones from economically developing countries. Students may be in receipt of no more than one grant, but those students who have been rejected may reapply for a different grant if eligible.
