Goals and Scope
---------------

This symposium aims to provide a supportive environment in which selected
PhD students can present and discuss their ongoing work, meet other
students working in the field of formal methods, and receive feedback
and advice from experienced researchers. In addition to talks followed
by discussions, the event will also provide opportunities for PhD students
to meet senior academics in smaller groupings, to informally discuss
research strategies, career aspects, or any other topic of interest.

If you are a PhD student researching any topic that falls within the area
of formal methods, you are warmly invited to submit a Research Abstract
for consideration to be selected as a participant of the Doctoral
Symposium.

There will be a best presentation award.
