How to apply

To be considered as a Student Volunteer for the UMAP 2013 Conference, send an email to umap2013@dia.uniroma3.it enclosing:

  • The application form, properly filled;
  • A scanned copy of an official letter (in English) from your University or School, properly signed and stamped, indicating your current student status. You will then present this letter when registering at the Conference.

Acceptance notification

All applications received by May 10, 2013 will be reviewed and volunteers selected will be notified by May 20, 2013.
A reserve list will also be drawn up upon applications received by the preliminary registration deadline, but not initially selected.
Student applicants that are not selected to become volunteers will be offered the chance to register taking advantage of the early registration rate.

Late applications

Applications received after the deadline will be placed at the end of the reserve list in the order in which they are received. Since experience has shown that more students apply than can be accepted, early application is strongly encouraged. However, applicants on the reserve list may also be accepted. Therefore, do not be discouraged if you are applying after the original deadline.
Applicants selected from the reserve list that have already registered and paid for their participation will get a full refund.
