Grant Eligibility

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:

Economic factors

We want everybody to have a chance to join us at PyConDE & PyData Berlin 2023, regardless of their economic situation or income level.

Diversity

We seek the most diverse and inclusive event possible.

In case you are unlucky and don’t get a free in-person ticket or travel/accommodation reimbursement, you will still be eligible to obtain a free online ticket.

How to Apply

Please fill in the form.

Refund Management

Accommodation and travel grant

All grants involving reimbursements will be reimbursed based on approved receipts (hotel invoice, plane/bus/train ticket) sent to us before the conference.

The reimbursement can either be made by bank transfer or PayPal payment after the conference.

Please note:

  • The maximum total amount of grant will not exceed the amount of 400€/800€ (depending on the category) per person.
  • If the applicant does not accept the grant before the mentioned deadline, the grant will be considered rejected by the applicant.
  • Not approved invoices will not be reimbursed.
  • Reimbursements before the conference, or via other means such as cash are not possible.
  • The financial aid grants will only be made available to registered attendees actually attending the conference.
  • Transfers to other people are not possible.
  • As part of our efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of the conference, we expect our attendees to use trains rather than airplanes when possible. Thus, we will not refund air travel costs when other means of transportation are easily available. This will be considered on a case by case basis. Please consider this when calculating the estimated costs.
