During the day, the students will get feedback on their projects and a chance to discuss achievements and plans with each other and the organizers. The consortium is also an opportunity for students to get to know other junior researchers in the same stage of their academic process.

Submission

Students will be accepted based on a four-page description of their research project and its status, a two-page resume (CV) and a letter of recommendation from the supervisor. Submit these documents as separate files in the same email. In the four-page research project description, use the single-column ACM conference paper template (using Word, LaTeX or Overleaf).

Selection process

The selection process is juried and carried out by the consortium chairs. The submissions are reviewed based on research quality and benefit, taking into account gender and geography balance.
