Attendee Information

Workshop costs and registration procedures vary depending on the type of attendee:

Academic Participant — This group consists of members of the professional educational and research community who will be attending the meeting as participants. (Please note that this category is not for student attendees; see below.) A $100 registration fee will be required.

Support for lodging expenses while attending the workshop is available for a limited number of academic participants. If paying for lodging would prevent you from attending the workshop, check the “the cost of lodging would deter me from attending the workshop” checkbox when registering. Lodging grants will be made on a first-come, first-served basis; Unidata will contact you about the status of your request.

In addition, UCAR and Unidata are working to increase participation by historically underrepresented groups. A limited number of full-support travel grants are available to workshop attendees who self-identify as members of these groups. If you are interested in applying for such a grant to attend this workshop, see the Equity and Inclusion Travel Support section for details.

Invited Speaker/Presenter — This group consists of members of the educational and research community who will be attending the meeting as presenters. These are speakers or presenters invited by Unidata or the Users Committee. Invited Speaker/Presenter travel and lodging expenses will be paid for by Unidata. The $100 registration fee will be waived.

Federal Government Employee — This group consists of registrants who work for a federal agency. Due to travel reimbursement constraints for federal employees, no travel or lodging support will be provided. Please contact Sheri Ruscetta with any questions at 303-497-8639. A $100 registration fee will be required.

Unidata Staff — This group consists of Unidata employees only. No travel or lodging support will be provided. The $100 registration fee will be waived.

NCAR/UCAR Staff — This group consists of employees of UCAR/NCAR and most likely work in the Boulder area. No travel or lodging support will be provided. A $100 registration fee will be required.

Users Committee Member — This group consists of members of the Unidata Users Committee, which is hosting the Users Workshop. Committee members will have their travel and lodging expenses paid in full, and the $100 registration fee will be waived.

Student — This group consists of students who wish to attend the workshop. Unidata will provide lodging, $300 per student to help defray travel costs to the workshop, and waive the $100 registration fee for up to ten qualified students. We will give funding preference to those students who are interested in pursuing careers in geoscience education. For information on the application process, please see the student announcement.

Students who do not apply for or receive support from Unidata will be treated as Academic Participants.
