Opportunities for ACM Faculty
ACM provides a variety of opportunities for faculty at ACM colleges to extend their expertise and gain new perspectives.
Conferences and workshops
ACM sponsors a variety of conference and workshops for faculty and staff each year. Many are in connection with grant-funded programs (see below), while others are funded by ACM. In addition, events sponsored by individual colleges are sometimes open to faculty from throughout the ACM. See the ACM calendar for upcoming events.
ACM-University of Chicago Faculty Development Grants
The University of Chicago has generously created an ACM Faculty Development Grant Program to promote interaction between ACM faculty and the University. The five-year program provides grants to support faculty travel and costs associated with brief residencies for research, participation in workshops or seminars, and other activities at the University. See the Call for Proposals for more information.
