PhD Symposium

The objective of the ICET 2018 PhD Symposium is to provide PhD scholars with an opportunity to present and get feedback on their research work. In the symposium, PhD scholars at different stages can participate and discuss problem statements, goals, methods, and preliminary results related to their ongoing research. The symposium provides PhD scholars with a platform where they can interact and get feedback from established researchers and other PhD students working in the similar research domains. PhD Symposium welcomes submissions from PhD scholars working on the ICET 2018 conference topics.


Eligibility


The PhD Symposium is open to all PhD scholars, especially those who have completed their coursework and have a well-defined synopsis. PhD scholars in more advanced stages, having sufficient time to complete their research, can also take benefit by presenting their preliminary research results.
