<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m happy to announce the second edition of the DiGRA Solidarity Fund! The fund is meant for providing scholars from less privileged countries with means to travel to the DiGRA international conference which will be held
in Sevilla 19-23 June 2023. Last year we provided travel funding for 5 scholars to attend the conference in Krakow. With a slightly increased budged we are aiming at providing travel funding for the same, or higher number of scholars this year.

the expenses to DiGRA Treasurer Jussi Holopainen, and they are expected to participate in the entire conference (not just a day or two).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
