Submission guidelines (version 2.0) RENEWED CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


The Doctoral Symposium and the Ph.D.-Workshop have been combined because they
address the very same group of participants; therefore, we offer two options for
participation: either as a presenter at the Doctoral Symposium part of the
Workshop, or as an attendee at the entire workshop including the Doctoral
Symposium.

The combined event is by invitation only: an invitation requires you to submit a
paper. However, we do expect to invite any Ph.D. student that has submitted a
paper even if the submitted paper is by a newly started Ph.D. student.

The first option is to send a plain paper that describes some part of your
dissertation work or an interesting idea to the Ph.D.-Workshop, where
it can be discussed among other Ph.D.-Students.

The second option is to present the whole idea of your dissertation thesis in
the Doctoral Symposium, where a group senior researchers will listen to your
presentation and evaluate it.
There will be a limited number of slots for presentations so there will be a
selection process to choose who will get to present their dissertation ideas.
If your paper is selected, you will be given a half hour slot to present; if not
selected, you will likely be invited to attend the combined Symposium (along
with everyone else).

Which option to opt for depends on what stage your Ph.D. work has reached: if
you are far enough along to write up your main idea in a paper then opt for the
Doctoral Symposium, otherwise opt for the Workshop.
