Application as a Student Volunteer at Mensch und Computer 2024

With more than 800 participants in the past years, the “Mensch und Computer” is one of the largest HCI conferences in Europe. Every year the conference attracts participants from academia and industry.

We are looking for motivated students (and PhD students) to support us in running the conference as Student Volunteer (SV). As a SV, you will gain an overview of current research topics, contacts with scientists and companies, and a behind-the-scenes look at how a conference is run.

Student Volunteers are mainly responsible for the smooth running of the conference. Specific activities include assisting at the conference reception, preparing and providing technical support for the conference rooms during the sessions, answering organizational questions from presenters and conference participants, and providing other support to the organizational team. You should be able to be on site in Karlsruhe from Saturday, 31.08.2024 (afternoon) to Wednesday, 04.09.2024 (afternoon) for this purpose. The working time over the whole conference is about 20 hours.

We will get back to you until the end of July 2024. Thank you!
Anastasiya and Anna-Lena
