Submissions are invited for the SICSA 2022 PhD Conference. PhD students are invited to submit a 2-page abstract about their research area (please note that references are not part of the 2-page limit). This abstract can either be about their entire PhD programme or a highlight from one particular study. All students that submit to this will have their submission peer-reviewed and should present a poster of their work at the main SICSA PhD Conference.
