### Novel D&I Initiatives

This year, in addition to our other initiatives, we plan to trial the following:

- ACL Fellow Lunch: Students and junior researchers meet with past and current ACL Fellows.
- Future Intern program: Companies can directly sponsor individuals whose research is of potential interest and who might be able to apply for an internship the following year.
- Paper Internships: Companies or institutions with travel grants invite students or young researchers to collaborate on a paper whose research is partially underway (without being officially interns) and sponsor their participation in the conference.
This year, in addition to our other initiatives, we plan to trial the ACL Fellow Lunch, where students and junior researchers meet with past and current ACL Fellows.

Our D&I initiatives would not be successful without the help of sponsors. In previous conferences, we have been able to reach out to hundreds of NLP researchers around the world. At ACL 2023, more than 166 applied for D&I subsidies and with the help of our sponsors, we offered 10 full travel grants, 7 in-person registration fee waivers, 46 virtual waivers and 43 ACL membership waivers, and 1 childcare subsidy.
