Scope
The ICBO and FOIS 2012 conferences will host a joint
Early Career Symposium. This event is designed to provide an opportunity
for current PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to give a short
presentation of their research with ample time for feedback and mentorship.
It will also allow participants to network with other early career scientists
in ontology and biomedicine. While attendance is open to anyone registered
for one of the main conferences, presenters should be active doctoral students
or postdoctoral researchers.
Submission Guidelines
Intending participants should submit an extended abstract, which may be a description
of their current or planned research, an abstract of their PhD proposal, or a
description of a related issue such as methodology. The research should either have
a significant ontology component already or a plan to utilize ontologies in the future.
All topics that fall into the scope of the conference are welcome.
Submission is via EasyChair ,
according to this template .
Presentation
Presentations at the ECS will be given by doctoral or early postdoctoral
researchers which have to register for the ECS. Accepted submissions will be presented
as short talks (timing will depend on the final number of accepted submissions), with additional
time for questions and discussion. Accepted submissions will be published in a symposium booklet (PDF).
Travel Funds
A limited number of travel grants for the conferences will be available.
Interested applicants should send a letter of application by e-mail to
ludger [dot] jansen [at] uni-rostock.de before 15 April,
