As organizers and members of PyData Berlin, we have a standing commitment to our community. As part of that community, we aim to fostering diversity within our membership and conferences.

This year, we can offer scholarships in the form of diversity tickets (free or reduced price) as well as travel scholarships.

If you want to attend the conference, but are worried it might be a financial burden, please take time to fill out the application form and tell us why you want to join and how the scholarship would benefit both the conference and your work (or studies).
