Euro-Par 2023 PhD Symposium

The Euro-Par PhD Symposium is a welcoming and supportive forum for PhD students to present their work, meet and interact with peers, and to receive constructive feedback about their work from experts in the Euro-Par community. The program will feature technical presentations by PhD students, and discussions in panel and open formats. Contributions accepted to the PhD Symposium will appear in the Euro-Par companion proceedings.

We invite submissions from PhD students at any stage of their doctoral studies. Applicants must be officially enrolled in a PhD Program at the time of submission, and each submission MUST be backed by an endorsement from the official PhD adviser(s). Required submission files are as follows:

1. Proposed Paper (in Springer LNCS format, no longer than 6 pages with references), including:

- Title of work, authors, and affiliation. Necessary condition: the first author, corresponding author and the person presenting (if the proposal is accepted) is a PhD student

- Abstract of the work

- Description of work being/planned to be done, including the problem being addressed, the research methodology, and preliminary results (if any)

2. Adviser Statement of Support (no longer than 1 page), including:

- Name of advisor(s)/supervisor(s)

- Declaration that the applicant is their PhD student

- Stage of PhD (date started and expected date of completion)

- Confirmation of support for applicant’s participation

We are happy to announce that we can cover the registration fees of 15 student attendees; 15 awards will be funded by the Euro-Par Foundation. To qualify, you should be a PhD student studying Informatics and Computing Science at the time of the event.

On top of the above specific criteria for each studentship, the following criteria will be used:

• Explicit recommendation by the advisor(s) is paramount, as awards will be given based on the strength of the advisor(s) letter.
• Priority will be given to in-person attendees.

Successful applicants may be asked to undertake some tasks to assist the running of Euro-Par 2023.

The symposium committee members will review the submitted applications based on originality, technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference. Submitted documents that do not meet the above requirements might be rejected without a review. All submitted proposals will be checked for originality by Springer iThenticate (proposals which show an insufficient originality might be rejected without a review).
