About the Digital Media Doctoral Symposium

The Digital Media Doctoral Symposium (DMDS) provides an opportunity for the Digital Media Ph.D. students from the University of Porto and Universidade NOVA de Lisboa to present and discuss their ongoing Ph.D. research work (e.g., research goals, preliminary ideas, research plan, initial/intermediate results), with experts in the field and peers. Students will receive feedback on the quality of their presentation and on the proposed research itself.

Eligibility

The DMDS is open to all Digital Media Ph.D. students. All submissions will be evaluated by the Symposium Scientific Committee and priority will be given to Ph.D. students at the beginning of their research journey that present clear and concise submissions. Students in more advanced stages of research should still have sufficient time remaining before completing their dissertation so as to be able to benefit from feedback provided from participation in the Symposium.
