<h1>About the Conference</h1>
</div>
<p>The European R Users Meeting, <a href="http://erum.io">eRum</a>, is an international conference that aims at integrating users of the R language living in Europe. Although the <a href="https://www.r-project.org/conferences.html">useR! conference series</a> also serve similar goals, but as it's alternating between Europe and USA (and more recently Australia in 2018), we decided to start another conference series in the years when the useR! is outside of Europe.</p>
<p>The first eRum conference was held in <a href="http://2016.erum.io">2016 in Poznan, Poland</a> with around 250 attendees and 20 sessions spanning over 3 days, including more than 80 speakers. Around that time, we also held another, although shorter conference in Budapest: the <a href="http://budapest.satrdays.org">first satRday event</a> happened with 25 speakers and almost 200 attendees from 19 countries. The eRum 2018 conference brings together the heritage of these two successful events: planning for 400-500 attendees from all around Europe at this 1+2 days international R conference.</p>
<p>The local Organizing Committee is lead by Gergely Daroczi, who chaired the Budapest satRday event as well. Just like the satRday series, eRum is also a nonprofit conference and driven by enthusiasm for open-source, R and the related community, so we make no financial gains and we do not get paid at all for working on this event. If you want to get in touch, please feel free to <a href="http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/d?k=01U1WS9MmQrJz1UBFVHY_bOw==&c=bL3GZuK-ByLFSNd8LtkBQQubt8YCsSqvPGdsksd3Zjs=" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/d?k\x3d01U1WS9MmQrJz1UBFVHY_bOw\x3d\x3d\x26c\x3dbL3GZuK-ByLFSNd8LtkBQQubt8YCsSqvPGdsksd3Zjs\x3d', '', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=300'); return false;" title="eRum 2017 Organizers">e-mail us</a>.</p>

<h1>Registration</h1>
</div>
<p>To minimize the financial barriers of attending this nonprofit conference and thanks to the generous contributions from our <a href="#sponsors">sponsors</a>, we decided to keep the registration fees as low as possible and supposed to be affordable to even students and other interested parties paying for the registration on their own:</p>
<table class="table table-hover">
<thead>
<tr><th></th><th>Student</th><th>Academic</th><th>Industry</th></tr>

<strike>Early bird registration<br>

<td>85,000 HUF<br>(~275 EUR)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Late and on-site registration</th>
<td colspan="3" class="text-center">Not available.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>We also offer "Supporter" level tickets for around 30% extra over the "Industry" ticket prices to express your support for this event and the R community by making it possible for others without the requred financials to attend the event. We suggest this option for freelancers and smaller companies without a budget to become an official <a href="#sponsors">sponsor</a> of the conference. Note, that the "Supporter" level tickets provide the exact same features as any other ticket, the only extra feature is a special-colored badge to highlight your generous contribution.</p>
<h5 id="faq-ticket-types">Not sure which conference ticket to buy?</h5>
<ul>
<li>We decided to keep the <i>student ticket</i> fees as low as possible (not even covering our catering and related expenses -- so heavily relying on our <a href="#sponsors">sponsors</a>' generous contributions) and affordable for students even without any salary. Pick this option if you are an actual full-time student <i>without</i> income letting you pick a more expensive ticket type</li>
<li>R users working in academia (eg higher education or research institutes etc) should pick the <i>Academic</i> option, which is still very reasonably priced and planned to be affordable for most European researchers, professors and PhD candidates -- hopefully covered by your institute</li>
<li>Everyone else with a full-time and paid job (or equivalent, eg freelancing) should pick the <i>Industry</i> option (which is still pretty affordable compared to past years' useR! and other conference ticket prices) -- hopefully sponsored or reimbursed by your employer</li>
</ul>
<h5 id="faq-payment">What payment options are possible?</h5>
<p>Please note that by default, we only accept Paypal payments (eg debit or credit cards) to automate the administrative tasks related to ticketing and invoicing to reduce our costs at this nonprofit event and make it affordable for all attendees -- but on request, we can also provide a proforma invoice and accept postpaid wire transfer as well. <strike>Please note that this option requires us to charge ~10 EUR extra administration fee. If that's what you rather prefer (or have to do), then go ahead with the registration and pick the "Paper invoice or post-paid option" Invoice Type, fill in all your details, then use the "POSTPAID" Discount Code to check-out without paying via PayPal. Then we will send you the proforma invoice in a week and finalize your registration after the payment has cleared.</strike> Sorry, the post-paid option is not available in the last fews days of the registration.</p>
<p>On the other hand, please note that wire-transfer payments are possible via PayPal as well, so if you would like to avoid paying the extra administration fee, you can also open a free PayPal account and do a wire-transfer there to top up your account, then register for the eRum conference using your PayPal balance -- so that's also possible without having access to a debit or credit card.</p>
<a class="formsubmit formdisabled"><strike>Buy Conference Ticket(s)</strike> (closed May 1, 2018)</a>
<p>Registering for the event and purchasing a ticket entitles you to attend 2 half-day or a full-day workshop on May 14, all conference talks on May 15-16 -- including coffee breaks and lunch on all 3 days with no hidden costs. 27% Hungarian VAT included and we provide electronic invoices on all purchases in a few weeks after payment cleared. You can pay by PayPal (including easy payment options with credit/debit card and wire transfer), but please <a href="http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/d?k=01U1WS9MmQrJz1UBFVHY_bOw==&c=bL3GZuK-ByLFSNd8LtkBQQubt8YCsSqvPGdsksd3Zjs=" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/d?k\x3d01U1WS9MmQrJz1UBFVHY_bOw\x3d\x3d\x26c\x3dbL3GZuK-ByLFSNd8LtkBQQubt8YCsSqvPGdsksd3Zjs\x3d', '', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=300'); return false;" title="eRum 2017 Organizers">get in touch</a> if you need any special assistance with the payment, invoice etc.</p>

<p>Why should you consider giving a talk?</p>
<ul>

<li>get quick feedback on your proposal -- send an <a href="http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/d?k=01nO1Sm-4BvuFfQHGUyQYX_w==&c=NfL2tnG76ivnynrfd5O72PVRskVSNUgys_Fovh3Zps8=" onclick="window.open('http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/d?k\x3d01nO1Sm-4BvuFfQHGUyQYX_w\x3d\x3d\x26c\x3dNfL2tnG76ivnynrfd5O72PVRskVSNUgys_Fovh3Zps8\x3d', '', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=300'); return false;" title="eRum 2018 Program Committee">e-mail to the Program Committee</a> with your questions and we are happy to help you improve your abstract(s) and will also notify everyone before the end of March so that you can plan ahead,</li>
<li>we might provide financial support to reimburse registration and/or travel & accomodation expenses,</li>
<li>and most importantly: this is pretty unique opportunity to give a talk focusing on R to a larger crowd in Europe in 2018 -- especially in a club under a pool :)</li>
</ul>
</section>
<p>Please feel free to submit one or more proposal(s) in English on the below URL with the following presentation formats:</p>
<ul>
<li>Workshop (3-6 hours): Tutorial for 10-50 (or more) persons on a beginner or advanced R topic</li>
<li>Regular talk: Abstracts accepted for talks will take place during oral sessions. Each talk is allowed 20 minutes for the presentation including questions and answers.</li>
<li>Lightning talk (5min): A variation of the pecha kucha and ignite formats that we love at the useR! confereces: 15 slides shown for 20-20 seconds.</li>
<li>Poster: Abstracts accepted for posters will take place during an afternoon poster session, which is a social event. There are no parallel talks or events happening, so everyone can talk and stop by posters they are interested in. The dimensions of each poster should not exceed 4' x 4' or 120cm x 120cm.</li>

<h1>Live video stream on the talks</h1>

<p>Although we live-streamed all the talks from eRum 2018 and we still have the raw video recordings around, but instead of the streams split by day and room, we rather suggest checking our our conference playlist on Youtube, where you can find most of the talks cut into their own videos along with the screencast of the presenter's machine:</p>
