DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM

The Doctoral Symposium is an opportunity for students involved in the preparation of a PhD in any area of Multimedia to interactively discuss their research issues and ideas with senior researchers, receive constructive feedback from members of the research community and expose themselves as up and coming multimedia researchers. During the Doctoral Symposium, selected students will present their thesis topic, the work they have performed so far and the results that they have obtained. They will also reveal the difficulties, problems and questions that they encounter in the continuation of their work and can ask for comments from the audience.
