Child Care


ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA20)

Child Care




Grants of up to $85 per family, per conference day, are available at most SIAM conferences to offset conference-related costs incurred in the care of dependent children. Attendees are responsible for making their own arrangements for child care. The grants will be given as a reimbursement for expenses. If requests exceed available funding, preference will be given to students and early career attendees who are presenting at the meeting.

Babysitting or child care services incurred as a result of participating in the conference are eligible for reimbursement. The services provided do not have to be in the city of the conference, however, they cannot be services that would have been provided regardless of the attendee’s participation in the conference.

If you have questions about the child care grants, please contact SIAM.


Deadline for applications is November 10, 2019. 
Notifications will be sent by November 24, 2019.
