Announcement and Call for papers
2nd PhD Seminar of the International Telecommunications Society
21-22 September 2011 Budapest, Hungary
Paper submission: 1 June, 2011!
Meet the Experts!
The International Telecommunications Society (ITS) is an association of academics and other professionals in the information, communications, and technology sectors Its network of researchers comprises outstanding scholars in the field of telecommunications research that are well known from the literature (see www.itsworld.org). In order to share the valuable expertise represented by highly specialised academics and renowned industry experts with younger researchers, the ITS organises a PhD seminar. About 15 students will be selected from the responses to this call. In accordance with the topics presented by the winning candidates, experts from the ITS network will be chosen to discuss new ideas brought forward by PhD students. The focus will be on the discussion of ideas presented by the participants, and less on the mere presentation of papers. A selection of papers presented at the seminar will be published in Telecommunications Policy. The seminar will be linked with the European Regional Conference of the ITS to be held at the same location before the PhD seminar. Access to this conference will be free of charge for the participants of the PhD seminar.
The seminar will be organised by ITS and Chalmers University of Technology. It will be held in Budapest and hosted by the Scientific Association for Infocommunications Hungary (hte).
