EuroPython 2022: Call for Proposals, Financial Aid & Mentorship Programme Open
Hello Pythonistas,
Whoever coined the phrase “All good things come in three”, was definitely right. After months of discussion, juggling between various platforms and multiple revisions, the EuroPython 2022 team are really excited to launch the Call for Proposals (CFP), Speaker Mentorship Programme & the Financial Aid applications.
📢Call for Proposals
We're happy to announce the EuroPython 2022 Call for Proposals (CFP) and are accepting proposals for talks, training sessions, workshops, panels, poster sessions, helpdesks and other interactive sessions at EuroPython 2022.
Sunday, 27th March, 23:59:59 AoE (anywhere on earth).
The conference will feature around 20 tutorials/workshops and 120 talk sessions:
- 11-12 July: four tracks of tutorials/workshops
- 13-15 July: four tracks of talk sessions of Python general topics on e.g. Programming, Software Engineering, Cloud, DevOps, Web, Django
- 13-15 July: two tracks of talk sessions of PyData related topics
We're looking for proposals on all aspects of Python from novice to advanced level, including but not limited to: applications, frameworks, Data Science, internals or topics which you're excited about, your experiences with Python and its ecosystem and creative or artistic things you've done with Python.
EuroPython is a community conference and we're eager to hear about how you use Python in your professional and personal activities. We especially encourage first-time submissions by speakers from under-represented backgrounds and more submissions with an advanced level scope for EuroPython 2022.
We’re looking forward to reviewing your proposals and having you at the conference: https://program.europython.eu/europython-2022/cfp
Our programme team are happy to answer any questions/ queries you may have: program@europython.eu
👩🎓👨🎓Speaker Mentoring Programme
Are you a seasoned speaker and want to mentor people? Are you considering submitting a proposal to EuroPython 2022 and would like guidance on your proposal?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, this Mentorship Programme is for you!
The purpose of this programme is to pair experienced speakers with those seeking guidance, especially those from under-represented backgrounds. Proposals could be for tutorials, talks, training, workshops and posters. Mentees may be in different stages of their proposal writing and may need help with different aspects of their proposal.
We’re also looking for experienced speakers to join as mentors to help answer questions folks may have about their proposal.
Mentors will also help the first time speakers better understand what information goes into the proposal form. Last but not the least, they’ll review their mentees’ proposal drafts.

P.S. We also have a couple of sessions planned for writing effective proposals and how to deliver effective presentations.
