IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: January 6,2020
Ph.D. Forum: February 17th, 2020

SCOPE
The Ph.D. Forum at the EWSN 2020 to be held in Lyon, France, on February
17th, provides an opportunity for Ph.D. students to present their work
in progress to the scientific community and obtain individual feedback
from leading researchers in the field.

The Forum will be structured as a series of short presentations by the
students, followed by a short collective discussion and "speed
mentoring" sessions with experts in the field to obtain individual
feedback and advice. The forum will kick off with a panel of experienced
academic researchers and industrial experts to address "The Do's and
Don'ts of PhD". Participating students will also have the opportunity to
present a poster during the main conference to leverage further
interaction with EWSN attendees.

Current Ph.D. students in all stages of their career are encouraged to
submit a 2-page abstract about their ongoing research to be considered
for the Ph.D. Forum. The abstract shall also include a one-paragraph
bio, along with brief information on how long the student has been in
Ph.D. school and the expected time until graduation. The student should
be the *sole* author although contributions of the adviser and others
should be acknowledged.

Submissions will be reviewed by the Ph.D. Forum committee to ensure
quality, relevance, and potential benefit from attendance to the Forum.
Authors of accepted submissions are expected to participate in person in
the Forum on February 17th, 2020 – and to present a poster both at the
Forum and at the main conference. There will be no separate registration
fee for the Forum. Participating students will only need to register to
the main EWSN. For any questions, please contact Yota Katsikouli
panka@dtu.dk and / or Pedro Marron pjmarron@uni-due.de.
