Scope:

The FOIS 2014 conference will host an Early Career Symposium (ECS). This
event is designed to provide an opportunity for graduate students to present
their work at one of the leading conferences in formal ontology and to get
first-hand feedback and mentorship from senior researchers in their field.
It will also allow participants to network with other early career
scientists in the broad field of ontology. Topics of interest include all
topics relevant to the interdisciplinary field of ontology as outlined in
the topics of interest for FOIS 2014 (see
http://fois2014.inf.ufes.br/p/call-for-papers.html#topics).

 

 

Format:

The ECS will be held as a poster session within the main FOIS conference.
The poster session will be opened by a lightning talks session, during which
each participant has the opportunity to advertise his/her work in a 3
minutes speech in front of the general audience of the FOIS conference. Each
participant will be assigned a senior researcher, who will provide
substantial feedback to his/her work. Moreover, a PhD Lounge will allow
early career scientists to meet and discuss their work with each other. 

 

 

Application Instructions:

The ECS is open to students at the Masters and Doctoral Level that have not
defended their thesis before the ECS Submission deadline. 

 

Candidates must submit a description of their research project (see the
