Call for Student Volunteers
Student Volunteers (SVs) are essential to the success of the Aarhus Decennial conference. Being a volunteer provides a unique opportunity to contribute to organising a conference as well as interacting closely with contributors, attendees, and your peers.
What will I do as a volunteer?
As an SV, you agree to:
- Work 20-30 hours before, during, or after the conference (in total).
- Attend orientation meeting.
- Be available on all five conference days and perform assigned tasks on time.
- Arrive in Aarhus by Sunday evening at the latest.
The reward for being a student volunteer is the chance to participate in the conference like a regular attendee, but for free, at times where you are not assigned to tasks. Tasks can be attending to the info/registration desk, helping in the presentation sessions, pack and unpack the venue, assisting the organisers with a variety of tasks, assisting in pre-conference workshops (Monday-Tuesday), etc. Also, it's great fun to be part of the team of students from a variety of backgrounds.

Becoming a volunteer
To register, you must be an undergraduate, masters, or doctoral/PhD student at the time of the conference. No previous experience is required to apply, but we are looking for people who are reliable, enthusiastic, and friendly.
It is your own responsibility to obtain necessary travel visas if required. Please be aware that the visa application process should begin shortly after prospective notification of acceptance.
We are unlikely to be able to contribute to cost for travel and accommodations, however food lunch and dinner will be provided during the conference.
Please fill out the application form by the appropriate deadline (see Important Dates above) to be considered.
