The Symposium will have a one-day workshop format, with presentations by the students whose papers are accepted by peer reviewers, feedback from the mentors (who are among the peer reviewers), and plenty of time for discussion. The workshop is open to all research students, mentors, presenters, and all other conference participants, except that we request that the research supervisors not attend their own supervisee’s presentations.

Submissions (exclusively authored by a student) can only be accepted from students registered on a research degree who will not be in a position to submit their final dissertation/thesis at the time of the Symposium. Contributing students must have identified the general area of research and the eventual dissertation/thesis but do not need to have research outputs/results. These conditions are set so students can take advantage of feedback and discussions in their research and thesis.
