Session description
The YOUthDIG Call for Applications closed recently and we received 275 submissions from all over Europe. 159 applicants are women, 113 are men and 3 are non-binary, of which 30 are offered funding to participate.
The question we want to address is: how can we include the 245 applicants who did not receive funding?
In previous years we invited them to attend EuroDIG and sent follow up emails with links about opportunities such as the ISOC Ambassador programme, NextGen/ICANN Fellowship or how to reach their local NRIs, including our How to get involved guide. However, we identified that the conversion rate was low, and we understand that it can be difficult to access these spaces when there is no active call to participate or contribute.
Therefore we would like to present to you our upcoming EuroDIG webinar on “Participating at EuroDIG and connecting locally”. In order to participate in this webinar please register here.
The intended audience are applicants who are newcomers, but we will also be inviting all the European NRIs. Should you be part of communities who may be interested in also attending this event, please do not hesitate to let us know.
