GLAMcamp Amsterdam/WMUK
WMUK is funding travel for approved UK attendees. Approval for travel is being coordinated by Fæ (the GLAM UK budget holder). A list of funded candidates will be announced here. The general expenses policy for the UK can be found at wmuk:Expense_policy.[1]
Note that approval for accommodation in Amsterdam needs to be confirmed via the coordinating committee. With recent applications this has been revised to a total of 11 12 candidates from the UK as listed below. Please do not be put off from getting in contact just because of numbers already registered, though be aware that as of the start of November, accommodation supplied by WM-NL is fully booked so any new attendees might have to be based on cancellations or alternative accommodation being paid for.
UK attendees with WMUK travel funding [edit]

Footnotes [edit]
- ↑ Though a standard per diem is mentioned in the policy, as breakfast, some other meals and local transport are going to be included with the Amsterdam venue, any per diem for this event may be at a proportionately lower rate to compensate and is likely to align with a per diem in euros set by WM-NL (if there is one).
