The conference is a forum for PhD students to join the SICSA research community by participating in workshops, career events, and presenting their work as a poster at the conference. This year’s conference will focus on addressing large societal challenges, although the scope of the conference is not limited to these issues:

• Green IT (info)
• Security (info)
• Digital Inclusion (info)
• Collective Intelligence (info)

PhD students attending the conference are invited submit a poster on any topic in informatics and computer science, with special consideration to the conference themes where possible. Students in their second or third year are strongly encouraged to submit a poster. This will not jeopardise opportunities for future publication and is an excellent opportunity for those who want to:

• Receive useful feedback on their work in progress.
• Introduce their work to potential collaborating academics in Scottish universities.
• Hone a research paper prior to submission to an important conference.
• Gain experience presenting in a conference environment / dry run a conference presentation.
• Learn about related research by other PhD students in Scotland.
• Get to know PhD students from across Scotland in a fun and welcoming environment.
