The Early Career Symposium (ECS) is an event dedicated to PhD students and early career researchers to present their work and gain insights from experienced researchers and industry professionals, as it enables participants to discuss research directions, ideas, methods, and (possibly) results. The ECS also provides an opportunity for guidance on professional,academic lives and future perspectives, and facilitates networking within the formal ontology and information systems’ research community.
The symposium covers the same topics of interest as the main conference and is primarily directed at PhD students.
FORMAT
The ECS will be held on-site during the FOIS 2025 conference and will include:
- Mentoring Lunch: ECS participants will be paired with senior researchers who will offer feedback on their work and provide academic or professional advice.
- Fast-Talk Session: Participants will have the opportunity to advertise their work in a 5-minute speech to the conference’s main track general audience.
- Poster Session: A traditional format where participants can display and discuss their research in more detail.
The ECS offers a unique occasion for the next generation of FOIS researchers to network and advance their careers.
