- Only PhD Students can apply?
Both PhD Students and early-career researchers are very welcome to apply.
- If I don't have a full paper yet, can I apply anyway?
Each participant has to present something, because the spirit of the event is to create a community that shares ideas and research questions. Having a draft of the full paper to be submitted close to the workshop would be beneficial in order to allow the assigned discussant prepare the "discussion". Yet, a detalied and advanced version of the presentation can also be accepted.
- Can I attend the Workshop without presenting?
Unfortunately, we cannot welcome non-presenting participants. The workshop is meant for early-career researchers wanting to get valid feedback on their work in progress. Therefore, each participant is supposed to present.
- Will you publish the final papers?
No, the final papers will be shared only with the senior discussant that is in charge of your session, in order to give you a proper feedback.
