UA-DIGITAL 2023 ( https://www.digital-ukraine.co.uk/ ) is a UK-Ukraine twinning event which aims to promote research collaboration with Ukraine along the Digital Theme (Mathematics, Computer Science, Computational Engineering) and it is organised by UK team of #ScienceForUkraine and The University of Liverpool.
Our objective is to help Ukrainian academics at Universities and Research institutes to integrate into the international research network and to find new research contacts. In the long term, the high-quality research across the Digital Theme should drive the development of the Digital Infrastructure, Digital Economy and IT sector in Ukraine and support the recent OECD Policy Response "Digitalisation for recovery in Ukraine".
The Digital Theme Research Twinning conference is focused on UK-Ukraine collaboration and later this initiative will be extended to other forms. As the first step of twinning research activity, an online Showcase/Exhibition/ Conference will take place online and will be based on the virtual platforms. For stimulating twinning, the program will consist of
- invited talks given by world-leading UK/International researchers who will introduce perspective directions of research, justify approachable and long-term challenges and present a map of research centres in their field
- invited presentations from Ukrainian academics who will present the capacity of research centres/groups and the areas of active research in Ukrainian Universities and the National Academy of Sciences. Nominations of Ukrainian Invited speakers to present the capacity of research centres/groups and the areas of active research in Ukraine can be submitted by filling out the online form
- UK and Ukraine highlight presentations (the five-minute pitch for academics, early career researchers and PhD students)
- virtual poster sessions for UK and Ukraine participants
The UK-Ukraine twinning conference is encouraging early career researchers working in Science and Engineering related to Digital Theme to interact with their peers and will give them a platform to showcase their research work in the form of a five-minute pitch and/or a poster.
Best works will be recognised by awarding prizes in each subject category to the individuals who, alongside presenting excellent science and engineering, communicate their research in a clear and engaging manner.
The deadline for submitting short talks and posters is extended until 10th of March 2023 - get recognition for your work!
Submission Guidelines
All submissions must be original.
Every submission can provide three forms of input: Extended Abstract, Poster, and Video presentation.
At least one part is mandatory for the submission. However, we recommend submitting either 2 or all 3 parts. Submissions of extended abstracts will be important for someone who want to get a publication of the research materials. In addition to the Extended Abstract and Poster we can allow submitting video presentations later by keeping the server open for updates.
-
Extended Abstract (upto 4 pages). Upload the extended abstract of your presentation. The file must be up to 4 pages including title, abstract, main part and bibliography in PDF format (file extension .pdf) and should contain your extended abstract file <yoursurname_abstract.pdf>. Latex Template for submission is available to download here and from Overleaf. The extended abstract should be typeset using 11-point, in a single-column, single-space (between lines) format with ample spacing throughout and 2cm margins all around, on A4 paper size. The pdf file must be up to 4 pages.
-
Poster. Upload your one-page poster. The poster file must be in basic image formats like png or jpeg whilst the maximum file size allowed is 3 MB. A poster file should be named as <yoursurname_poster.png> or <yoursurname_poster.jpg>. You can use PowerPoint, Canva, or another third-party application to design and save a 16:9 image. The basic Poster Latex Template is also available to download here, The minimum width of the image should be 1000 pixels, while the minimum height should be 600 pixels. A landscape format is preferred, although a portrait can be used with scrolling.
-
Video presentation. A video with a 5-minute pitch presentation in mpeg, mov or wmv format can be uploaded in addition to printed material or instead of some other part. This video can be used instead of a realtime online presentation.
All materials including the presentations should be delivered and prepared in English.
