The IDA 2027 PhD Forum provides an opportunity for graduate students to present their research in a supportive environment with feedback from experienced researchers.
Mentorship Program
IDA 2027 will include a mentorship program. Students participating in the PhD track will be paired with experienced researchers (e.g., IDA Senior Program Committee members) and meetings will be arranged during the conference to allow discussion between the students and mentors.
