In recognition of Gary Marsden’s contributions and inspiration in HCI4D, ACM SIGCHI establishes Gary Marsden Student Development Fund. The purpose is to support growth of HCI in developing worlds by sponsoring SIGCHI student members who are from and currently based in developing countries to attend SIGCHI sponsored or co-sponsored events, such as the upcoming ACM RecSys 2020 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Any SIGCHI student member who is a university student at any level (Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D.) from and currently based in developing countries, who has received an invitation to attend from the chair of an HCI relevant conference such as RecSys 2020 can apply for the fund. An applicant can also apply for a provisional award from this fund before their contribution is accepted by the conference or even before the contribution is submitted to the conference. The reviewing and awarding process runs every three months in a year in four cycles. The application submission deadlines are 15th of February, May, August and November. Each application is reviewed based on the qualification of the student, the contribution they will make at the event as well as the relevance and quality of the event in terms of its helpfulness to the student’s development in HCI.
