The main objective of the workshop is to offer an opportunity for PhD students to meet and share their research experiences, to discover commonalities in research and studentship, and to foster a collaborative environment for joint problem-solving. PhD students from both industry and academia are encouraged to attend in order to ensure a broad, unconfined discussion. The workshop sessions will be determined according to the research interests of the participants. Last year AITO contributed funding which enabled the participation of some persons who would not afford to participate otherwise.
Funding allows reimbursement of qualifying participants' conference-related expenses.
Acquisition of funding for the 2001 workshop is pending. Updates regarding funding availability will be listed on the PhDOOS home page. The purpose of the extended abstract is to provide an overview of a particular aspect of your work, but it is probably also a good place to present some unusual and thought-provoking statements in order to ensure a lively discussion.
