The call for PhD Track papers is open
PhD Track at icteri-2025
The PhD Track is traditionally organized under the umbrella of ICTERI as a satellite Symposium or Track. It is a discussion forum for young researchers who are at the beginning of their careers, such as PhD students or young researchers from the industry. PhD Track at ICTERI provides an expert environment for presenting ideas and results of PhD projects or other research aiming toward 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 and outputs with their peers, supervisors, and senior researchers working in the fields that are within the scope of ICTERI-2025.
Topical Scope

Please be informed that ICTERI is a Computer Science conference. Hence, the papers on didactics and use of ICT taken off the shelf will be regarded as out of scope.
No Conference Fee
Traditionally, ICTERI does not charge conference fees. Participation is FREE. Infrastructure and service expenses are covered by our sponsors. Travel and accommodation is paid by participants.
Presential Mode
ICTERI supports and respects all the aspects that help promote diversity in our conference community, which aspires to facilitate a truly international and multicultural gathering. Therefore, we prefer in-person assembly for the conference as the most effective mode for scientific exchange and community building. We fully understand, however, that some participants might be under higher risk or stricter constraints, like international travellers. This is why we allow virtual participation for the attendees, as an exclusion which must be negotiated with the Program Chairs.
The speakers, who present accepted contributed papers, must be physically present at the conference.
The information about the arrangements and requirements for the virtual attendees is provided and updated at https://icteri.org/icteri-2025/hybrid/.
Submission Guidelines
The language of the ICTERI Main Conference is English. Submissions in any other language or not following the style or academic code of ethics guidelines will be rejected without review. Presentations in any other language are also not accepted and withdrawn from the program. All submissions shall be annotated by keywords/phrases freely chosen by the authors. At least three and at most five key phrases must be provided. All submissions must comply with the Springer LNCS format guidelines: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. Formatting instructions and template as well as submission guidelines are provided for your convenience at the ICTERI-2025 website: https://icteri.org/icteri-2025/. Please submit your paper, in .pdf, to ICTERI-2025 PhD Track via the EasyChair Conference Management System: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icteri2025.
Submission Types and Page Limits
The PhD Track is focused on soliciting research-in-progress paper submissions. However, full research papers are also eligible. The page limits are:
- Research-in-progress paper submissions: not less than 10 and not more than 12 LNCS pages.
- Full research paper submissions: not less than 12 and not more than 16 LNCS pages.
The optional appendix can go beyond the page limit and will be consulted at the discretion of the program committee.
Please see more details on paper submission types at https://icteri.org/icteri-2025/submission-types/.
It is required that the first author of a paper submitted for the PhD Track at ICTERI-2025 is either a PhD, or MSci student, or a young researcher from industry who is working towards obtaining a PhD.
Evaluation and Publication
All submissions will be evaluated by members of the international program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the Springer-Nature Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series.
Please check the Previous ICTERI Conferencespage at the ICTERI-2025 website (https://icteri.org/icteri-2025/previous-icteri-conferences/) to access the proceedings volumes published by the previous conference instances.
Presentation
Accepted papers must be presented at the conference, in person, by one of their authors, who commit to register and attend the conference. The Program Chairs reserve the right to withdraw those papers from the proceedings, which have not been presented at the conference.
