Agenda

Research summaries and biographies of the participants

The International Doctoral Conference provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests in a workshop under the guidance of distinguished senior researchers. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their dissertation work in Informatics (CS) and education to apply for this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. We welcome submissions from students at any stage of their doctoral studies.

Prospective Supervisors:

• Dr. Mikko-Ville Apiola, University of Turku, Finland
• Prof. Dr. Erik Barendsen, University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands
• Prof. Dr. Gerald Futschek, Vienna University of Technology, Austria
• Prof. Dr. Liudmyla Kryvoruchka, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Ukraine
• Prof. Dr. Arnold Pears, Uppsala university, Sweden, Presentation
