[NEW!] Mentorship Programme

In light of our theme of reflecting on the past decade, we as organisers have also taken time for self-reflection. While we emphasise the importance of interdisciplinary work, the increasing number of submissions (which we are extremely proud and happy about!) has required us to apply our submission guidelines more strictly. In recent years, these issues have been particularly relevant for submissions coming from outside the NLP community. This signals that, if we do not take action, we risk failing to promote the very diversity we aim to support.

After listening to feedback from the community, we have decided to lower this barrier by launching the first-ever WOAH Mentorship Programme.

• Link to register as mentor
• Link to register as mentee

As a mentee, you will be able to propose your WOAH project idea and outline the type of guidance or supervision you are seeking. As a mentor, you will be expected to support your mentee by meeting at least three times during the project (at the beginning, midway, and towards the end). We encourage mentees to include their mentors as co-authors of their WOAH submission.

Timeline:

• Register for the mentorship programme by 10rd April
• Notification of mentor/mentee match by 25th April
