Join us as a Student Volunteer!
Student volunteers (SVs) are an essential part of a successful conference. At CUI, you will help with the organisation and make sure everything runs smoothly during the conference.
ACM CUI 2026 will take place in Bremen, Germany from 21st–24th July 2026.
You must be enrolled as a student during the Summer 2026 term (or equivalent). We welcome undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students. What matters most is that you are friendly and enthusiastic about being part of CUI!
The SV call is open and will close on Tuesday 31st of March 2026 (AoE). If interested, apply by filling out this Google Form.
We will be accepting in-person SVs for this year’s conference in Bremen.
The selection results will be announced on Wednesday 8th of April 2026. Once you have a confirmed spot and registration is open, you will be required to register. You will receive instructions after your application is confirmed. If you are placed on the waitlist and a spot becomes available, you will be informed immediately.
If you register before selections are announced, your registration will be refunded.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where can I find the form to apply?
A: Use the Google Form linked above: SV Application Form
Q: The application deadline has passed. Can I still be considered?
A: We only consider applications submitted by the deadline to keep the process fair and consistent for everyone.
Q: Can I skip orientation, work much less than 16 hours, arrive late, or leave early and still be an SV?
A: SV roles rely on predictable coverage, so we expect SVs to meet the full commitment. If an exceptional situation arises after you receive a spot, email sv@cui.acm.org as soon as possible and we will coordinate next steps.
Q: I missed your emails and/or did not register by the deadline and lost my SV spot. Can I get it back?
A: Email sv@cui.acm.org immediately with the situation. If a waitlisted SV has already accepted the spot, reinstatement may not be possible.
We look forward to meeting all of you!
