[liberationtech] ICTD 2020 Call For Papers

[Seyed A Mousavi]

Hi Nicola,
Thanks for sharing the info of ICT4D 2020. *I wonder if you know that they
cover travel expenses including airfares for the selected papers?*

*Also, which country is hosting it? or at least which countries have been
nominated themselves as a potential host so far? *
(Because I live in Maryland, USA (Washington Metropolitan area) and the
location (distance and its expenses) is one of the main factors for me to
submit my academic and practical subject of the paper.

Sincerely,
Ali

>
>    - The PC member is a co-author of the paper.
>    - The PC member has been a co-worker in the same company or university
>    within the past two years.
>    - For student interns, the student is conflicted with their
>    supervisors and with members of the same research group. If the student no
>    longer works for the organization, then they are not conflicted with a PC
>    member from the larger organization.
>    - The PC member has been a collaborator within the past two years.
>    - The PC member is or was the author's primary thesis advisor, no
>    matter how long ago.
