Following the tradition of DAGM, GCPR 2019 will again host a Young Researchers Forum (YRF) dedicated to the presentation of outstanding achievements during Bachelor’s, Master’s or Diploma studies. The forum provides an opportunity for young researchers to present their research, form new connections and build a community. A Best Master’s Thesis award is presented and a limited number of student travel grants are available.

500 Euro Best Master’s Thesis Award

Young researchers who have received their Master’s degree after July 4th, 2018, are encouraged to submit a full GCPR submission based on their Master’s thesis. The submission should be marked as “yrf-submission” in the submission system. The young researcher should be the first author, however, co-authorship of supervisors is allowed. The submission should contain the following information as supplementary material:

  1. the full master thesis
  2. the Master degree certificate
  3. statement by the young researcher, that the content of the submission only covers the results of the thesis
  4. a supporting letter by the thesis supervisor, stating that she/he supports the application and explaining the excellence of the applicant.

All yrf-submissions will be reviewed, and all accepted submissions will be treated as full GCPR papers. The best accepted submission will be honored with the 500 Euro Best Master’s Thesis award during GCPR 2019 conference.
