Graduate Symposium

Call for Graduate Symposium Papers

The goal of the Diagrams 2010 Graduate Symposium is to provide senior graduate students or recent master's and PhD graduates with an opportunity to present their work and get feedback from established people. A group of experts will be present to comment on the presentations. Talks will also be given on:

1) how to present scientific papers and
2) dissertation advice.

Another important function of the Graduate Symposium is to provide students with an opportunity to network with each other, as they will be each others' future colleagues.

We expect to get funding to partially support graduate student registration and travel costs.

Eligibility

Graduate students or recent PhD graduates (within two years of graduation or still in postdoc).

Submission Information

We solicit papers for the Graduate Symposium, to be held as part of Diagrams 2010. Accepted papers will not be published in the proceedings of the conference, but will be available in printed form as informal symposium proceedings at the conference and on the conference web page. If a paper is accepted, one of the authors will be expected to present the research in a talk at the Graduate Symposium.

Here are the ways one can submit to the Graduate Symposium:

  1. Direct submission to the Graduate Symposium.
  2. When submitting a long or short paper to the Diagrams 2010 conference, tick the available box on the submission form if you want your submission to be considered for Graduate Symposium too (in case of rejection).
  3. When submitting a poster to the Diagrams 2010 conference, tick the available box on the submission form if you want your submission to be considered for Graduate Symposium too (whether accepted or not).

All papers must be submitted using the EasyChair system.

Papers will be no longer than three pages, and should otherwise conform to the submission guidelines of other Diagrams 2010 papers.
