I'm transferring this information to the Wikidata mailing list, hoping I'm not violating any posting rules since: - the WIKI workshop will be colocated at The Web Conference 2022 (relevance) - this is a specific announcement for widening participation to a scientific conference, promoting a DEI grant which I believe is part of the core values of this list.
Best regards.
Raphaël Troncy General Chair, The Web conference

*The ACM Web Conference 2022 - DEI Grant second round!
more information at https://www2022.thewebconf.org/diversity-equity-inclusion/ 2nd Round for NON-authors - Application deadline: April 8th, 2022 - Decision notification: April 13th, 2022
The ACM Web Conference series is committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). In accordance with ACM’s policy (https://www.acm.org/diversity-inclusion), we intend to celebrate the similarities and differences that make our community so innovative and productive by opening up and widening access to the entire conference program of The ACM Web Conference 2022. To reach this goal, we are happy to propose The Web Conference 2022 DEI program, which is also partially supported by a specific donation by Google (https://diversity.google/). This program offers full FREE registrations to the entire conference week. This second round of application is *NOT* suitable for authors, but instead, tailored for the researchers from the Global South who had little or no previous experiences of The Web Conference. The number of available DEI tickets is limited. Each application will be carefully studied by the organizing committee. If you apply to this programme, please wait to be notified of the decision before registering for the conference. Do not hesitate to contact the Committee at dei2022[at]thewebconf.org. We stay available to answer any questions!
*Application* Applications are to be sent by email to dei2022[at]thewebconf.org, with the following information inserted directly in the body of your mail (please, do NOT attach any files): - Name - Surname(s) - Email Address - Country of residence - Short statement written in English (up to 2000 characters including whitespaces) containing any information that is relevant to justify and motivate your participation in the DEI program. Note that this statement will be primarily used to assess your eligibility.
Data protection As DEI applications may contain sensitive data, we wish to stress that all information concerning these applications will be handled according to the GDPR (https://gdpr-info.eu/) European regulation. In particular, application emails will NOT be transmitted and will be destroyed at the end of the process.
