What research areas does YISEC cover?
We have a list of topics on the Call for Papers but any science and engineering-related PhD topics are welcome!
None of the topics seem to fit my paper. Can I still submit?
If your PhD is in the sciences, then we would look forward to your submission, even if it's outside of our listed topics!
For all details on submitting, including links to all templates, please refer to the "Submission Guidelines and Information for Authors".
What does it mean to "submit an abstract"? Do I have to do this?
Submitting an abstract will allow the organising committee to assign your submission to a reviewer. Therefore, for both paper and poster submissions, the abstract must be submitted a week in advance.
Can I update my submission?
Yes, you can update your paper (and the supplementary material, if applicable) as many times as you like before the paper submission deadline. Your reviewers will only get to see the final version you submit.
Similarly, you can update the abstract of your paper as many times as you like before the abstract submission deadline.
I am having trouble submitting on EasyChair, who can I contact?
Contact our technical lead, Daniel Bethell.
Is presenting optional?
Those who submitted papers will be required to present at the conference. This is a great opportunity to practice your presentation skills and the best way to get your research out there!
Can I present online?
Currently, the conference is in-person only, allowing for a lively exchange of ideas on the day.
For all details on reviewing, please refer to the "Reviewer's Toolkit".
How can I get involved in reviewing?
Sign up to be a YISEC reviewer using the form.
How do I print my poster?
Speak to your university about the plan that is in place to get your poster printed, as this is different for everyone. If you need to print a poster yourself, you can do this and bring it along with you on the morning of your poster session. We have an on-campus print shop where you can order on dp online and collect your poster on the day, if it makes travelling easier. Posters will be A1 size, we recommend economy paper.
Is this a catered event?
Yes, we will provide tea and coffee breaks and lunches on both days. On day one, there will also be an evening networking event, with dinner provided. Make sure you provide any dietary requirements when you confirm your conference attendance (form to come).
Where can I find the schedule?
