After the success of the first ten Programming Languages Mentoring Workshops at
POPL 2012-2021, we are announcing the 11th SIGPLAN Programming Languages
Mentoring Workshop (PLMW), co-located with the virtual POPL 2022 and organized
by Stephanie Balzer, Paul Downen, Robbert Krebbers, and Christine Rizkallah.
The purpose of this mentoring workshop is to encourage graduate students and
senior undergraduate students to pursue careers in programming language
research. This workshop will bring together world leaders in programming
languages research and teaching from academia and industry to provide (a)
technical sessions on cutting-edge PL research and (b) mentoring sessions on
how to prepare for a research career. The workshop will help students imagine
how they might contribute to our research community.
We especially encourage women and underrepresented minority students, and
people with disabilities to attend PLMW.
This workshop is part of the activities surrounding POPL, the Symposium on
Principles of Programming Languages, and takes place the day before the main
conference. One goal of the workshop is to make the POPL conference more
accessible to newcomers. We hope that participants will stay through the entire
conference.
Because physical travel to the workshop location this year may be more
difficult for some, there is also an option to attend PLMW remotely. Remote
participants of PLMW will be able to view online videos of the workshop talks,
access the PLMW Slack channel, and sign up for virtual mentoring sessions with
experienced researchers.
A number of sponsors (listed below) have generously donated scholarship funds
for qualified students to attend PLMW. These scholarships can cover expenses
(airfare, hotel, and registration fees) for attendance at both the workshop and
the POPL conference.
Students attending this year will get one year free student membership of
SIGPLAN, unless they prefer to opt out during their application.
The workshop registration is open to all. Students with alternative sources of
funding are welcome as well.
