As part of our commitment to the Python community, we are pleased to announce that we offer special grants for people in need of a financial aid to attend EuroPython.
Financial aid is sponsored in part by Python Software Foundation (PSF)
We offer financial aid conference grants in these 3 categories:
- Free and discounted ticket: get a standard ticket for the conference for free (including access to talks, trainings, sprints, etc.)
- Travel costs: we will cover the travel costs pro rata, depending on what you are applying for.
- Accommodation: we can partially cover the accommodation costs

Our grants are open to all people in need of financial aid. We will specifically take into account the following criteria in the selection process:
Contributors: potential speakers/trainers of EuroPython (people who submitted a proposal) and all who contribute to EuroPython and/or Python community projects.
Economic factors: we want everybody to have a chance to come to EuroPython, regardless of economic situation or income level.
Diversity: we seek the most diverse and inclusive event possible.
