CALL FOR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS and PARTICIPATION (deadline July 31!) ACM SIGPLAN Programming Languages Mentoring Workshop, Oxford, UK Co-located with ICFP'17 PLMW web page: http://icfp17.sigplan.org/manageTrack/PLMW-ICFP-2017 ### The purpose of this mentoring workshop is to encourage graduate students and senior undergraduate students to pursue careers in programming language research. This workshop will provide technical sessions on cutting-edge research in programming languages, and mentoring sessions on how to prepare for a research career. We will bring together leaders in programming language research from academia and industry to give talks on their research areas. The workshop will engage students in a process of imagining how they might contribute to our research community. So far, we have the following speakers and panelists confirmed for the workshop: - Amal Ahmed (Northeastern University) - Nada Amin (University of Cambridge) - Derek Dreyer (Max Planck Institute for Software Systems) - Richard Eisenberg (Bryn Mawr College) - Ron Garcia (University of British Columbia) - Chris Martens (North Caroline State University) - Conor McBride (Strathclyde University) - Sam Staton (Oxford) We especially encourage women and underrepresented minority students to attend PLMW. This workshop is part of the activities surrounding ICFP, the International Conference on Functional Programming, and takes place the day before the main conference. One goal of the workshop is to make ICFP conference more accessible to newcomers. We hope that participants will stay through the entire conference. ## Travel Scholarship Applications (Due 31 July) Please fill out [this form](https://goo.gl/forms/qDYTkvNndApNc91N2) by 31 July to apply for travel funding.
