Student Volunteer Information

Application deadline: April 11, 2004

Notification date: April 30, 2004

Also, note that the early registration deadline has been extended to May 1, 2004.

ICML has funds available to provide financial support to a limited number of students. Each student will be required to work a certain number of hours at the conference in exchange for their travel support. The number of hours will be between 8 and 12; we will notify students of their commitment once the conference schedule is set.

Funding Details

Financial support for students is made possible by donations and grants. We aim to offer full support for registration fees, travel funds, accommodations, and meals. However, we may decide to instead provide partial funding to enable us to support more students. Funded students will be notified of the amount of support we will provide.

Student Duties

If you are selected for financial support, we ask that you devote approximately 8-12 hours to helping to keep the conference running smoothly. The duties may include:
  • Assembling registration packets
  • Checking people in at the registration desk
  • General assistance at conference talks and workshops
  • Checking badges at receptions
