Student Volunteers are mainly responsible for the smooth running of the conference. Specific activities include assisting at the conference reception, preparing and providing technical support for the conference rooms during the sessions, answering organizational questions from presenters and conference participants, and providing other support to the organizational team.

The working time over the whole conference is about 20 hours.

You will have the opportunity to attend the conference for free, as well as numerous technical presentations, workshops, demonstrations and exhibitions. Of course, you will also receive fancy T-shirts in the current conference design. You are also welcome to submit your own contributions to “Mensch und Computer 2024”.
