Student VolunteersECOOP 2019
The ECOOP 2019 program for student volunteers gives full- or part-time university students from around the world the opportunity to attend and contribute to premier international conference covering all areas of object technology and related software development technologies.

ECOOP is pleased to offer a number of opportunities for student volunteers, who are vital to the efficient operation and continued success of the conference each year. The student volunteer program is a chance for students from around the world to participate in the conferences whilst assisting us in preparing and running the event.
Job assignments for student volunteers include assisting with technical sessions, workshops, tutorials and panels, checking badges at doors, operating the information desk, helping with traffic flow, and general assistance to keep the conferences running smoothly.
In return, volunteers are granted free registration to the conferences and free access to plenary sessions, tutorials, workshops, and demos.

The skills, talents, and dedication of the student volunteers contribute to the overall quality of the conference. The Student Volunteer role involves a range of duties, including, but not limited to:

- Helping and directing other conference participants.
- Contributing to the overall smooth running of the conference functions and social events. This includes assisting during presentations and poster sessions as well as operating the information and registration desks.

How to Apply
To be considered as a Student Volunteer, please fill out the application form.
- The application deadline is April 19, 2019 (notification: April 29).
- The second deadline is June 10, 2019 (notification: June 13).
Priority will be given to applications submitted by the first deadline. A limited number of applications received after the second deadline may be considered depending on need.
If you plan to attend ECOOP regardless of your Student Volunteer status, require a visa, and wish to apply for the second deadline, we highly recommend that you register for the conference as soon as possible. The visa will need your proof of registration for the conference. Should you receive a Student Volunteer offer, we can transfer your registration to the Student Volunteer status, and refund your registration. Please apply for visa as soon as you know you will attend - visa applications may experience delays in England due to Brexit, and the sooner you apply, the greater your likelihood of having it approved before the conference.
