Talk and Poster Pitch for Doctoral Students / June 22, 2018

Young Researchers Symposium 2018

Talk and Poster Pitch for Doctoral Students

Every two years, the TU-Nachwuchsring and the High Performance Center Simulation and Software Based Innovation organize a competition for young researchers with all kinds of scientific background, awarding prices with a total value of up to 6.000 € for the most exciting presentations and best posters.

The goal is not only to provide scientific insights into projects of young researchers in a comprehensible way for non-experts, but also, to make the presentations as entertaining, interesting and exciting as possible. In addition, the coffee breaks as well as the get-together following the event, will also be a chance to network and are the perfect opportunity to obtain scientific input from other areas.

We cordially invite all of Kaiserslautern’s young researchers to participate in the competition and/or to join the symposium in the audience to vote for the best contributions.

We are looking forward to creative presentations and an enthusiastic audience!

Do you want to participate in the Talk and Poster Pitch?

Your admission ticket is a scientific abstract that will be reviewed by an interdisciplinary team of researchers. A positive review will qualify you for the YRS 2018. Don´t forget to indicate your preference for poster or talk (but ultimately the committee decides).

Call for Abstracts

Who is eligible?

Doctoral students of the TU Kaiserslautern, the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM, the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI - location Kaiserslautern) and the Institute for Composite Materials (IVW).

Teamwork is accepted.

Call for abstracts: from March 15^th, 2018
Deadline for submission of abstracts: April 16^th, 2018
Authors will be notified of the reviewers’ feedback as from May 18^th, 2018.

Requirements for the abstracts

Abstracts must be written in English.
Your contribution should be one page including optional figures and references, etc.
The contribution should be prepared according to the IEEE templates regarding format and form. Depending on the standards of your research field the structure/content of your abstract may vary and it might not be necessary to adress all sections listed.
Upload your abstract in one pdf file.
Submit your abstract here
Please note: Register as participant here before submitting your abstract.

All accepted abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings (open online access, Fraunhofer Verlag)

Main review criteria

Does the contribution illustrate the value of the research?
Are the analyses/methods appropriate and comprehensible?
Is the overall contribution written in an easily comprehensible way?
Does the contribution meet the formal criteria (language, clarity, citations, length)?

Please keep in mind that the reviewers are representatives of all departments of the TU Kaiserslautern as well as the institutes, so it cannot be guaranteed that they are familiar with your special research field. For that reason, please make sure that your abstract is comprehensible and written in a more popular scientific way for persons outside your discipline and not for a review committee of a scientific conference in your field.

Symposium and Prizes

Talks

The topics of the talk should be geared towards the research focus areas. 15 minutes shall be scheduled for each talk (12 minutes presentation and 3 minutes discussion). The official conference language is English.

Content, structure, organisation and performance of the talk (e.g. a clear and comprehensible language and performed in free speech) are judged as well as the answers in the following discussion.

No questions or discussion

Exhibition
The posters (A0, portrait) will be exhibited during the entire course of the conference for discussion during breaks. The official conference language is English.
