Call for Student Volunteers
RecSys 2025, the 19th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems, is the premier international forum for presenting new research results, systems and techniques in the broad field of recommender systems. The conference will be held in Prague, on 22nd-26th of September 2025.
Student volunteers are essential to the success of the RecSys conference. In return for help at the conference, student volunteers receive a number of benefits, including free conference registration, access to social events, and the opportunity to interact and network with top RecSys contributors and organizers. Being a student volunteer is a great way to network with the community.
Since the conference will primarily be in-person this year, we are looking for on-site student volunteers. Duties for on-site volunteers will include helping to set up and perform needed work during the conference, such as AV support, registration desk, poster and demo setup, break monitoring, etc. The volunteers will need to arrive on the morning of September 21st (MANDATORY) for the orientation that will take place in the afternoon and are expected to stay for the entire duration of the conference.
Student volunteers usually get to attend most of the sessions, even when working, so they will participate in all the conference content and activities. Scheduled hours depend on the type of volunteering activity and will not exceed 20 working hours.
QUALIFICATIONS
Volunteers must be students (undergraduate, masters, or PhD) during the 2025-2026 academic year, or researchers who recently defended their PhD thesis (during the 2024-2025 academic year). Students of all backgrounds who are interested in Recommender Systems, regardless of discipline, are encouraged to apply. You do not need a paper accepted to apply, but it will be taken into account in the selection process. No previous student volunteer experience is required, but we are looking for enthusiastic and reliable people fluent in English. Furthermore, we welcome applications from local and international (geographically diverse) students.
