Submission Instructions

Student scholarships are available to students at all levels (doctoral, master, junior-Post doctoral, or bachelor) students. Graduate or post-graduate students should submit, at the same easychair link reported above, items 1, 2, and 3 as described below.

Applicants should submit:

1. a two-page extended abstract that summarizes the research problem being investigated, the specific contributions made, and directions for the remaining work. The extended abstract has to be formatted using the LNCS format, and is at most to 2 pages, including references. When writing it remember that the audience might not be necessarily knowledgeable in the narrow topic of your thesis.

Accepted extended abstracts will be published in the PRIMA Proceedings and be presented briefly at the student session.
2. a curriculum vitae (2 pages) with background (name, university), education (degree sought, year/status in degree, previous degrees), employment, and relevant experience in research (publications, presentations, conferences attended, etc).
3. name of the thesis advisor and information, including title, department, affiliation and email address. A request for a letter of support will be emailed to your thesis advisor.

All these documents must be joined into a *single PDF file* before submission.
