## Call for Student Volunteers
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.

Conference details:
Send an email to Steven Costiou  and  Oleksandr 
Zaitsev  with:

title: [ESUG 2024 Student]
name, gender, university/school, country, email address
short description of you and why you are interested in participating

For which period is accommodation covered? Accommodation is covered from Sunday 
from 8 to 11 July 2024 (including nights from Sunday to Monday and from 
Wednesday to Thursday ). Students will be hosted in student rooms. ESUG 
additionally covers the lunches during the week and one dinner.

Duties include handling registration as people arrive at the conference, 
filling 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, takes a fairly small amount of time, and doesn't 
significantly interfere with enjoying and learning from the conference. Please 
note, that this role requires discipline and constant attention to all 
attendees.

Information about hotel
Student Volunteer rooms are booked at (to be announced). If you are a student 
volunteer, do not book yourself, we have arranged the booking already!
