ECOOP 2012 Doctoral Symposium

Date: 13 June.
Room:  Conference 9.

Contact: Gregor Richards.

ECOOP 2012 in Beijing, China hosts the 22nd edition of the Doctoral Symposium and PhD Student Workshop. As the name suggests, this is a two-session event: a Doctoral Symposium and a PhD Student Workshop. The Doctoral Symposium and PhD Student Workshop provides a forum for both early and late-stage PhD students to present their research and get detailed feedback and advice. The main objectives of this event are:

  • to allow PhD students to practice writing clearly and to present effectively their research proposal
  • to get constructive feedback from other researchers
  • to build bridges for potential research collaboration
  • to contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers at the main conference

 

Event Format

This is a full-day event of interactive presentations. Morning and early afternoon will be dedicated to the Doctoral Symposium, with late afternoon dedicated to the PhD Student Workshop. Besides the formal presentations, there will be plenty of opportunities for informal interactions during lunch and (possibly) dinner. It is planned that, like in 2010, members of the academic panel will give short presentations on a variety of topics related to doing research.
