ICT4S 2023 Doctoral Symposium - call for participation

The ICT4S 2023 Doctoral Symposium is a one-day event to be held on 
Monday June 5, 2023 at the ICT4S 2023 conference 
<https://conf.researchr.org/home/ict4s-2023>in Rennes, France. The 
symposium will bring together doctoral students working in all areas of 
ICT for Sustainability and give them the opportunity to present and 
discuss their research in a constructive, friendly and highly 
interactive environment.

Each student will be given an opportunity to present his or her research 
project and receive constructive feedback from colleagues and peers at 
all career stages from the interdisciplinary field of ICT for 
sustainability. The doctoral symposium is run in a highly interactive 
and collegial format, and is designed to help you move your work forward.

Who Should Participate

The Doctoral Symposium welcomes any doctoral student who has already 
identified a dissertation topic and whose doctoral research will benefit 
from external feedback.

Submission Instructions

To apply as a student participant to the Doctoral Symposium, you need to 
submit a short participation statement. Submissions should cover the 
following:

  *

    Name and institution (non-anonymised/ unblind submissions please)

  *

    A one-paragraph summary in the style of a paper abstract (approx.
    150 words)

  *

    Your situation, i.e., the university doctoral program context in
    which your work is being conducted (Department, Year of Study,
    industry involvement, etc.)

  *

    Context and motivation that drives your research

  *

    Background (key related work relevant to your research)

  *

    Research objectives/goals/questions

Note: The sections of your submission do not have to follow the outlined 
structure, but they must cover the suggested content. If you are at a 
relatively early stage of your research, you might have some difficulty 
addressing all of the content requirements, but you should attempt to do 
so as well as you can. Your submission should contain no proprietary or 
confidential material and should cite no proprietary or confidential 
publications.

Each submission is limited to a maximum of 2500 words, not including 
text, appendices, figures, and references. Submissions that are too long 
will be rejected. Submissions should NOT be anonymous. However, the 
confidentiality of submissions will be maintained during the review 
process. Submissions must be authored exclusively by the PhD candidate.

Submit a PDF-file of your submission in the “[ICT4S’23] Doctoral 
Symposium” track in EasyChair 
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ict4s23>.
