About

The Academic Program helped shape the next generation of Ethereum builders on campus and brought university communities to Devcon in Mumbai.

Academic Program

Every meetup was part of a global series building toward Devcon 8. Hosting one made each university part of that story, and got its community there first.

Campuses on the Road to Devcon

Students connected with researchers, developers, and protocol contributors who share their enthusiasm, and their obsessions.

Finding their people ahead of Devcon India

The expertise was already there: professors, researchers, and builders in each university working on the hardest problems in the space.

Campuses as classrooms for Ethereum

Application guidelines

The speaker application guidelines used for Devcon 8 India — code of conduct, session lengths, programming values, the review process, and how decisions were made.

Speaker Application Guidelines

Please read the general [code of conduct](https://devcon.org/en/code-of-conduct/) and especially the "Topics to Avoid" aka:

- **Promotional or purely "commercial" talks will not be accepted. All talks must be educational.** Devcon is not a place to shill your solution, it is about sharing knowledge.

Speakers code of conduct, tldr;

**The speaker application process was very competitive** and unfortunately, this meant that some quality talks were not selected due to time and space constraints.

- First decisions were made by the end of August, and **all decisions were final by the end of September.**
- Every applicant was notified of the status of their application once all applications had been carefully reviewed by our committee of experts.
- Reviewers' decisions were final, and there was no appeal process.
- All accepted speakers received a free ticket to attend Devcon.

Decision

Applications for Devcon 8 have closed. These are the guidelines that applied.

- Devcon 8 accepted fewer talks than Devcon 7. That said, there were more ways to participate, including discussion corners and [Community Hubs](https://forum.devcon.org/t/rfp-13-devcon-8-india-community-hubs/8657).
- Submit your proposal only once, no need to duplicate it among all tracks/format. You can add more context in the Notes section of your proposal.
- Sessions that advance censorship resistance, capture resistance, open source, privacy, or security will be prioritized. Alignment with these properties is a decisive criterion in the review process.
- Each application will be reviewed by a committee of experts. Their decision is final. There is no appeal process.
- The review committee may suggest converting your session to a different format (for example, a Talk to a Lightning Talk or vice versa) if it better fits the program. We will always reach out before making any changes.
- All speakers and panelists listed in your proposal must be confirmed at the time of submission. Do not include tentative or unconfirmed participants.
- All accepted speakers will receive a free ticket to attend Devcon. If you already purchased a ticket by the time you receive your confirmation, [contact us](mailto:support@devcon.org) to arrange a refund.
- Review the [Talks Wishlists](https://notes.ethereum.org/@devcon/devcon8-talks-wishlist) for ideas of topics per track.

Important information

Devcon takes a holistic approach and aims to engage all attendees.

Those who want to learn will find the type of content best-suited to them whether it be talks, workshops or free-form discussions. Below are some values that guide Devcon's programming:

1. **Collaboration and coordination** — Cross pollination and alignment on ideas and (remote) people
2. **Education and inspiration** — Provide educational & inspirational content, including newcomers
3. **Get inspired by and inspire adjacent communities** — Learn from FOSS best practices, inspire others to follow our standards
4. **Challenge our understanding of Ethereum as it is** — Bring novel perspectives & approaches, update on state-of-the-art research

Devcon programming values

When assessing submissions, Reviewers will keep the **Devcon Programming Values** in mind, and consider the following review criteria:

- **Is the submission information accurate and in the right track?** Is the submission in the right track, with the correct tags?
- **Is the submission focused on sharing knowledge?** All submissions must have the intended purpose of sharing knowledge (experience, learnings, development, research, or a specific problem they are hoping to solve.) **Note:** Reviewers will not accept an application that is devoted to promoting a company or project. If applicants would like to shill a project this is not the place.
- **Is the submission innovative and/or novel?** All talks and submissions should be geared to present new ideas to drive the ecosystem forward, not repeat presentations that have been given several times before.
- **Is the submission constructive?** Does the submission aim to solve a problem or contribute to the ecosystem in some way? Is it providing insight or solutions to a challenge faced by many?
- **Is the speaker qualified?** Does the speaker have sufficient knowledge and experience to present on this topic?
- **Is the speaker relevant to the session?**

Review criteria

- Each track has its own reviewing committee, consisting of a track lead and a diverse set of reviewers.
- Each application will be reviewed by multiple members of the review team (2 minimum).
- Talks will be selected on aggregate scores from the review criteria.

Review process

**Session lengths depend on the type of session:**

- Lightning Talks (5 minutes + 2 minutes for Q&A)
- Talks (20 minutes + 5 minutes for Q&A)
- Mixed Formats (25 minutes)
- Workshops (60 minutes)

**Note:** The organizers may suggest adjustments to your session length based on content and program needs.
