Call for student volunteers
IEEE World Haptics Conference 2023 (WHC’23) is the 10th Joint EuroHaptics Conference and the IEEE Haptics Symposium. WHC is the premier international conference covering all aspects of haptics, from the fundamental scientific findings to technological developments, algorithms and applications. It is a central venue for reporting research results and demonstrating novel capabilities in the field of haptics.
WHC’23 will be held as an in-person conference in Delft, the Netherlands. The conference features oral presentations and poster sessions, hands-on demonstrations, work-in-progress sessions, workshops/tutorials, industrial exhibits, and various social activities.
All of these activities are only possible with the help of a dedicated student volunteer team. We are currently in the process of recruiting students for just such a team.
If you would like to get hands-on experience organising a leading international conference, don’t hesitate to put in your application! You can apply for student volunteer by completing this form: https://forms.gle/qhyayKjFGQJ7uEW39
IMPORTANT: Do not register for the conference just yet. In case you are accepted as a student volunteer, your conference fee will be waived. If you are not selected, you will receive a code so that you will still be able to register for the early bird rate even after May 15th.
