Dear Gamesnetwork!



We are happy to announce the DiGRA Solidarity Fund. The purpose of the fund
is to provide means for scholars from less privileged countries to attend
DiGRA International events and present their work. We aim that every time
the DiGRA International conference is organized we can provide at least 3-4
scholars the ability to travel to present their work at the conference. On
this first occasion the total amount will be 6000€, which will be divided
between the recipients according to their estimates for travel costs.



The application period for the DiGRA International conference in Krakow is
from *May 1st to May 15th*. You can apply by sending the filled-out form
attached to this email and a short CV (max 2 pages) to me (mimasi at utu.fi).
Decisions on who the funds will be awarded to are made by the Solidarity
Fund Committee by May 31. All applicants will be informed personally on the
decision.



The fund will be paid for each recipient as a stipend according to their
estimates of how much they need to travel to the conference and stay there
for the *full duration of the conference* (flights, hotel, etc.). The
*recipients
will need to present receipts of the expenses* to DiGRA Treasurer Jussi
Holopainen, and they *are expected to participate in the whole conference*
(so not just a day or two).



If you have any questions, please email me, DiGRA ICO Miia Siutila (
mimasi at utu.fi). I am also creating a FAQ doc here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PNFblwi-27_O9RJ4SLHvUWckdQ24SmlnQfreoGZewTQ/edit?usp=sharing>
as the questions come in, so please check that out too.



Sincerely,



Solidarity Fund Committee
