Diagrams 2010

Graduate Student Symposium

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. There will also be a faculty talk from Jim Davies, coordinator of the symposium on how to present scientific talks.

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.

Anyone may attend the symposium. Graduate students who seek funding from the Diagrams conference must attend to be eligible.

Student papers that have been accepted to present at the symposium will give short talks on their work if that work will not be presented as a talk in the Diagrams conference proper. That is, accepted papers that are posters in the general conference or papers that were submitted for the symposium only will be presented.
