PhD forum
The PhD Forum will be held on August 30, 2009 in the form of a poster session preceded by a short oral presentation of the work (3 slides), and a panel discussion with experts on the potential research and application development topics.
PhD students can present and discuss their work with researchers in the field and receive valuable feedback, while conference participants can learn about interesting academic work in progress. The forum also includes a panel discussion in which participants can hear from experts in the related fields about the upcoming research and application development opportunities.
Participation in the forum is competitive and selection will be made based on a submitted abstract. All submitted abstracts will undergo a review process and selected based on the quality of the submitted content.
