Call for Submissions
CCGrid2024 Doctoral Symposium and Early Career Track
The Doctoral Symposium and Early Career track at CCGrid2024 provides a
platform for
students and early career researchers to gain visibility, solicit feedback,
and get mentorship and
networking opportunities with experts attending the conference.
Participants of the track will present their work to their peers and
researchers and participate in
the poster sessions of the main conference.
The best research, based on all aspects — extended abstract, presentation,
and poster, will be
part of the CCGrid2024 awards.
We encourage PhD students at all stages of their dissertation (getting
started, mid-way, all but
done) and early career researchers, academicians, and practitioners to
participate via
submitting to the track and attending events related to the track.
Submissions are invited in all areas related to the theme of the CCGrid2024
conference. The list
of topics of interest is the same as in the Call for Conference Research
Papers. Submissions
can include partial or even preliminary ideas and results and details of
proposed solutions, a
high-level summary of your published work, or novel work-in-progress ideas.
First-author
students are encouraged to submit a short version of the main-track
research paper to this
track.
