Dear Wikimedians,
We are pleased to announce that scholarship applications and program
submissions for the ESEAP Conference 2026 are now open!
▶Scholarship Applications◀ Scholarships are available to support
participation from Wikimedians who have a connection with the ESEAP region
and may need financial assistance. We strongly encourage applications from
emerging communities, under-represented groups, active newcomers, and
volunteers working on key regional or thematic initiatives. Details:

▶Program Submissions◀ We invite proposals for talks, panels, workshops,
roundtables, lightning sessions, and other creative session formats.
Whether you represent an affiliate, a local community, a project, or an
individual initiative, we welcome your ideas. This is your opportunity to
share learning, highlight collaborations, and spark conversations that
shape the future of our region. Details:

▶Important Note◀ If you require assistance to travel to Kaohsiung to
deliver your session, please submit a separate scholarship application.
Program and scholarship applications are reviewed independently, so
acceptance of a program proposal does not automatically grant a travel
scholarship, and vice versa.
▶Why Participate?◀ * Connect with Wikimedians across the ESEAP region *
Share knowledge, challenges, and emerging practices * Build new
partnerships and strengthen existing ones * Contribute directly to shaping
regional collaboration and the future of the ESEAP Hub
We look forward to your applications and proposals, and to welcoming many
of you in Kaohsiung next year!
