Scope

This is a special track dedicated to students enrolled in a PhD program, willing to present their on-going work.
The goal of the track is to provide a platform for PhD students to present and receive feedback on their ongoing research. Students at different stages of their research will have the opportunity to present and discuss their research questions, goals, methods and results. The track aims to provide students guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and other PhD students working in research areas related to technologies for social good. Finally, the track aims to enable PhD students to interact with other participants of conference and potential collaborators by stimulating the exchange of ideas and experiences.
