Scope
Format
The ECS will be held as a poster session within the main FOIS conference. The poster session will be opened by a lightning talks session, during which each participant has the opportunity to advertise his/her work in a 5 minutes speech in front of the general audience of the conference. Each participant will be assigned a senior researcher as a mentor, who will provide substantial feedback to his/her work.
Moreover, a PhD Lounge will allow early career scientists to meet and discuss their work with each other, their mentors and other senior researchers.
Application Instructions
Candidates must submit a short description of their research project and an up-to-date CV (as one pdf-file). Submissions will be reviewed by selected members of the FOIS Program Committee. Final submission is via EasyChair (see submission instructions).
Template for submission. The template is meant to be used as a general reference to organize the description of the submitted research project in different sections with specific contents. Latex can be also used. Make sure that the submission is in pdf format and includes both the description and the CV.
The abstracts (400 words), included in the project description, will be published as part of the FOIS proceedings (published by CEUR).
A limited number of scholarships will be available to support students participation. Further information will be soon available on the website.
