A Doctoral Consortium (DC) will be organized for IbPRIA attendants at the tutorials day, June 30th in the morning. The DC provides a unique opportunity for PhD students to present their ongoing work and to interact with other students and experienced researchers. It doesn't matter if the work has been previously presented at another conference, it is intended to be presented elsewhere, or it is still in progress. The DC is open to PhD students at any stage of their doctoral studies.

There is an award for the best DC poster supported by the APRP.

To participate in the DC, students should use the submission forms available here, to submit an Extended Abstract strictly following this overleaf template (must submit the Extended Abstract in PDF), and present a poster in that session. The deadline for DC submission is on May 23th, 2025. If the Extended Abstract is accepted, the PhD student must also register to the conference (see Registration page).

DC posters can be either A0 or A1 format, with vertical (portrait) orientation (to be confirmed). The student must be present at the poster session to interact with attendees during the DC session.

We will create a "Book of Extended Abstracts" document, with the accepted Extended Abstracts submitted by the PhD students. By sharing this document prior to the symposium, participants can familiarize themselves with the research work and plan their attendance accordingly, ensuring they don't miss presentations that align with their interests.

The posters can be printed in Coimbra, upon request for a printing service locally available. In this case, posters must be sent for printing before June 15.
