Following the success of the previous editions, the 9th TMA PhD School will take place on June 17th and 18th 2019 in Paris, France.

 

Under the theme “Security and Privacy Throughout the Stack”, the 9th TMA PhD School will include 4 tutorials, by 5 distinct lecturers, over a 2 days program.

Lectures are accompanied by related practical lab sessions, where students have the opportunity to put in practice learned notions.

 

The PhD School program will include 4 poster sessions where students can present their own (ongoing) PhD work to other students and to the lecturers, and receive individual feedback from them. Panel sessions will take place during breaks.

 

The PhD school program will include social activities on both days, where students, lecturers and attendees of the main TMA conference will have the opportunity to interact informally: city walk and social dinner on the first day, and TMA Conference welcome cocktail on the second day.

To foster interaction with the TMA community, students are encouraged to join the TMA Conference in the three days following the PhD School. Note that travel grant holders are invited to join the main TMA conference free of charge (except for those participants authors of an accepted paper).

 

Students will have the chance to present their posters at the main conference poster session(s).

 

 

***Registration***

Registrations are now open, you can apply at https://hotcrp.info.ucl.ac.be/tmaphdschool19/

As the PhD school is popular, we encourage students to register early. Our goal is to admit as many students as possible but we do note that we have limited room availability.

 

 

***Deadlines***

Application deadline: Monday March 25th at 23:59 UTC

Tentative decision notification: Wednesday April 3rd

 

 

***How to apply***

The price for registration for the TMA 2019 PhD school is fixed at €250 per student.

This fee will be levied on all attending students, also those receiving travel grants (see below), as the travel grant rules from our sponsors require us to ask for a small own investment.

 

In order to apply, please submit the following as a single PDF document:

 

+ the title and abstract of your poster

+ a current CV with contact information and e-mail address

+ a short personal statement, including: i) a description of the research subject followed by the student, and (ii) information that the applicant feels is relevant to support his/her application, e.g., why the PhD School attendance is important to the applicant’s research and career development;

 

In case you also want to apply for optional travel support, we ask you to also include:

 

+ a letter from your advisor which should: (i) confirm the applicant’s good standing in the institution; (ii) explain why the applicant would benefit from attending the TMA PhD School

 

+ the estimated expenses for attending the TMA PhD School (total, and breakdown by travel and lodging), and an indication of which cost items would need to be covered by the grant; if the applicant will be unable to attend the school without a travel grant, they should explain why this is the case (in this case the advisor’s letter should additionally explain the current funding status of the applicant and why the applicant is in need of the travel grant);

 

The organization will prioritize awarding of travel grants to students who will be unable to attend without a grant, and additionally based on diversity and the region from which the applicant has to travel, to ensure representation from traditionally underrepresented regions. In special cases, where the registration fee is also prohibitive, the organization may decide to waive the fee at its discretion.

 

Any decision made by the organization regarding attendance and awarding of travel grants is final. We note that reimbursements of travel grants may take up to several months to complete.

 

 

*** Additional Notes***

 

Please pay attention to the following details about the student travel grant application and reimbursement process:

 

+ The School will admit a limited number of students.

+ Students enrolled in PhD study programs will receive preference both in the admission to the School and the travel grant awarding.

+ Students admitted to the school are encouraged to attend the TMA conference.

+ We expect a student travel grant will significantly offset air fare and shared hotel accommodation. However, it may not fully cover these expenses, since our desire is to maximize participation by students.

+ In order to obtain reimbursement, you must provide original receipts for air fare and hotel expenses, along with boarding passes (plane or train) for both outbound and inbound journeys.

+ All students participating in the School are required to present a poster describing their research and to actively engage with all activities. Failing to do so will lead to admission rejection.

+ Please provide complete contact information. You will be notified via email, so make sure your email address is correct on your application.
