ICT Research School Annual Meeting 2024
Every year the Research School in Information and Communication Technology invites to a seminar where the PhD candidates have the possibility to exchange research ideas and experiences, to build and broaden their research networks, and to improve their presentation skills.
Main content
The ICT Research School's annual meeting is organized by and for PhD candidates enrolled in the PhD program at the Department of Informatics. The aim of this event is to strengthen networking and collaboration among the candidates, as well as to give them the opportunity to hold a seminar/lecture on an individually selected subject to complete 1 of the 3 required ECTS in the dissemination part of the training component. The guidlines for this seminar/lecture can be found here: https://www.uib.no/en/ii/159997/guidelines-seminar-self-selected-topic-inf930
When & Where?
The gathering will take place at Solstrand (where we had our department gathering in April). We will travel by buss from Høyteknologisenteret on the 11th of November and back again the 13th.
What will we do?
During our stay, we will engage in a variety of academic and social activities centered around the theme of Interdisciplinary Research.
Do you know what the Didactics group does? Are you familiar with the work of the Selmer Center? Are you aware of the research happening in groups other than your own? Computer Science is a broad field with numerous methodologies, many of which could enhance your research. For example, visualization techniques can benefit didactics research, and algorithmic strategies can support machine learning efforts. However, without awareness of these diverse fields, we cannot fully leverage their insights. At Solstrand, we will participate in several activities focused on Interdisciplinary Research. Sharing what we do in our own groups and how fields can be combined.
Additionally, we will have a few activities centered around skills relevant for all PhDs, regardless of research group.
