Dear colleagues



A reminder of the iConference Student Symposium, a forum for research conducted by Bachelor or Master’s students. If you have students who have already developed some interesting research then please consider asking them to submit to this event. This could be the first stage of their international research career. The deadline is 2nd November 2020.



Call for submissions for iConference Student Symposium

The Student Symposium is an opportunity for undergraduate and master’s students to present their research in a friendly setting of peers and invited senior researchers. Students will receive feedback on their work and they will have a chance to network with other conference participants and faculty members.

Participants must apply and be accepted in order to take part.



Application Instructions

All undergraduate and master’s students are invited to submit applications to this session. Affiliation with a member-iSchool is not required—applications from students of any educational institution will be considered. The session will consist of student presentations followed by discussions.



To apply, students should write an application that includes:

In this outline, you will introduce the theme of your talk, contextualize the theme in relevant research and give details on your method, analysis and findings (if relevant). The presentation may be on completed research or research-in-progress.



Student contributions may be based on undergraduate and master's projects or similar. Students may also join forces and collaborate on a submission.



A certificate will be issued to the participants to recognise their contribution and encourage their academic communication activities
