▢ About

The Doctoral Colloquium is a full-day event on 1 October 2024. Submissions to this Track are exclusive to PhD students currently working on their doctoral thesis who would like to present their ongoing research paper on any topic related to the conference theme or tracks. The paper should explain the research problem, the motivation behind it, the research questions, and the research methodology. It should also include the scientific and technical challenges, the respective research results obtained so far, and any planned developments. Although the PhD supervisor can co-author the paper, the student must be the first author. When submitting the paper, a letter of endorsement from the supervisor(s) is mandatory (it can be in the last page of the document and must include the name and affiliation of the student). Papers are reviewed by the respective Chairs, leading Professors in the field with vast experience in accompanying doctoral students. The session is chaired by them and aims at improving the students’ peer-to-peer and professional networks. At the same time, students will obtain useful feedback regarding their ongoing doctoral work and research.
