IASSIST Fellows Committee

The mission of the IASSIST Fellows Committee, formerly International Outreach, is to provide support for data professionals from countries with emerging economies who are developing information infrastructures regarding the use and preservation of public and private data and implementing information policy decisions at their home institutions. IASSIST Fellows has provided financial assistance to over 50 conference participants from around the world since 1997.

Please be aware that Outreach funding is not intended to cover the entire cost of attending the conference. The applicant’s home institution must provide some level of financial support to supplement the IASSIST Fellow award. Strong preference will be given to first time Outreach participants and applicants from latin-american countries. Only fully completed applications will be accepted. Applicants submitting a paper will be given priority consideration for funding.

Check the current year's conference website for information about the conference and applying, including deadlines.

You may apply for funding via this form.

For more information, to apply for funding or nominate a person for a fellowship, please send an email inquiry to the The Fellows Committee chair, Luis Martínez-Uribe (lmartinez@march.es).
