Presentation sessions

ICO's research project presentations are an important part of the ICO Spring School. ICO PhD members will give a presentation on their thesis project. Afterwards, a discussion will be started by the discussant(s) or the chair. This interaction with senior experts makes the Spring School an interesting meeting with lively discussions that often provide PhD students with fruitful ideas and new inspiration for their research. All presenters of a paper presentation will be appointed to act as a junior discussant for one of the other paper presentations. This makes it an inspiring opportunity for PhD members get involved in the review process.

Who is to present?

ICO PhD members are formally required to give a presentation on the Spring School, either in a Junior Presentation (for 1st or 2nd year PhD candidates) or in a Senior Presentation (3rd or 4th- year PhD candidates). The Junior Presentation can be either a Poster Presentation, or a Round Table Presentation. The Senior Presentation is a Paper Presentation. Presentations are grouped into sessions by ICO theme as much as possible and there will be ample opportunity for discussion. It is these discussions that make the Spring School an interesting and informative happening for the presenters as well as their audience.

All presentations and discussions will be in English.

How to prepare?

For all presentation sessions it is required to send in a paper and an abstract before 10 February, 2019 using the submission form. All papers will be accepted automatically. More information on how to prepare can be found on the pages "Paper presentation", "Poster presentation" and "Round Table presentation" .

Best Paper Award

At the end of the National School we will reward the best senior paper with the Best Paper Award. The jury consisting of staff and PhD-members will select the nominated papers. The jury will also attend the paper presentations of the selected papers. The winner will be announced on Friday afternoon at the closing session. The jury is composed of members of ICO's Scientific Committee, and three PhD-members.
