Sponsorship Program
for Multilingual Web Workshops

W3C creates open standards for technology and best practices so that the Web connects people and serves as a platform for innovation. To that extent, W3C organizes Workshops to promote early involvement in the development of W3C activities from Members and the public.

The MultilingualWeb project is exploring standards and best practices that support the creation, localization and use of multilingual web-based information. Through a series of workshops open to the public and various communication channels, we will spread information about what standards and best practices currently exist, and what gaps need to be filled.

W3C proposes a dedicated sponsorship program for these workshops to enable organizations to showcase their business and underscore their commitment to the shared goals of the W3C. The sponsorship benefits detailed below allow workshop sponsors to reach out to all stakeholders and decision makers worldwide and to be associated with breakthrough innovations that are paving the future of the Web.

Sponsorship Deadlines

The first MultilingualWeb workshop took place in October 2010 and was a great success. Three more workshops are planned for 2011 and 2012. The deadline for requesting to take part in each workshop will be announced during the workshop preparation. Two levels of sponsorship are offered depending on whether the sponsor is a W3C member or not.

  • 3000 Euros (non-W3C members)
  • 2000 Euros (W3C members)

The next opportunity is the workshop in Luxembourg, on 15 - 16 March, 2012. The deadline for sponsorship proposals for this workshop is 2 March 2012.
