The call for PhD Symposium papers is open
PhD Symposium at ICTERI 2021
The PhD Symposium is traditionally organized under the umbrella of ICTERI. It is as a discussion forum for young researchers who are at the beginning of their career, such as Master or PhD students, or young researchers from industry. Our vision of this PhD Symposium at ICTERI is to provide an expert environment for the presentation of ideas and early results of PhD projects or other research aiming at receiving a PhD. Young researchers, who will join us to take part in discussions and/or present their papers, will be offered an opportunity to exchange and discuss their research ideas with their peers, supervisors, and senior scientists working in the fields that are within the scope of ICTERI 2021.
