As part of our commitment to the Python community, we are pleased to announce that we offer special grants for people in need of financial aid to attend EuroPython. Please follow the instructions below to apply for a grant.
Financial Aid Sponsor for EuroPython 2020:
We are sponsoring financial aid with 20.000€ this year.
We offer financial aid conference grants in these 2 categories:

Note: the social event is NOT included in the EuroPython 2020 conference tickets. You will have to purchase separate tickets if you want to attend the social event.
Grant Eligibility
EuroPython is the a wonderful place to meet and share your experience for Python developers from Europe and all around the world. Our goal is to support people who want to make the Python community better: conference speakers and tutorial presenters, active people from small Python communities and open source contributors.
Our grants are open to all people in need of financial aid. We will specifically take into account the following criteria in the selection process:
-
Contributors: potential speakers/trainers of EuroPython (people who submitted a proposal) and all who contribute to EuroPython and/or Python community projects.
-
Economic factors: we want everybody to have a chance to come to EuroPython, regardless of economic situation or income level.
-
Diversity: we aim to be the most diverse and inclusive event possible.
