Die diesjährige Celtic Knot Conference wird persönlich in Irland stattfinden. Da der Schwerpunkt dieser Veranstaltung auf den keltischen Sprachen in Europa liegt, konzentrieren wir uns darauf, die persönliche Teilnahme von Menschen mit Wohnsitz in europäischen Ländern zu unterstützen, aber wir werden auch Menschen unterstützen, die die Konferenzinhalte aus der Ferne verfolgen möchten. Wir bieten zwei Arten von Stipendien an:
Die Bewerbungsfrist endet am 30. Juni um 23:59 UTC und wir werden versuchen, die Bewerber bis Ende Juli über das Ergebnis ihrer Bewerbung zu informieren.
Weitere InformationenDie Abwicklung der digitalen Stipendien wird von der Wikimedia Community Ireland übernommen. Die Reisebuchung für persönliche Stipendien wird vom Reiseteam der Wikimedia Foundation übernommen. Wir beabsichtigen, Digitalstipendien in Form von eSIM-Datenpaketen zur Verfügung zu stellen, die vor der Konferenz für einen Höchstbetrag von 80 EUR zugänglich gemacht werden. Obwohl dies unsere erste Wahl bei der Bereitstellung von Digitalstipendien ist, erkennen wir an, dass dies möglicherweise nicht für alle Stipendiaten zugänglich ist, und werden auf Anfrage so gut wie möglich auf die Bedürfnisse eingehen. Sollten von den Stipendiaten Datenpakete gekauft werden, können diese nur dann erstattet werden, wenn die Belege im Voraus vereinbart wurden und beim WCI eingegangen sind. Wenn Sie Probleme mit Ihrem Antrag haben oder Fragen stellen möchten, wenden Sie sich bitte an Richard Nevell (WMUK) (richard.nevellwikimedia.org.uk).
