Introduction

The consortium of the H2020 DESTINI project organises a satellite event in the context of SummerSOC which targets at bringing together Early Stage Researchers (ESRs*) for networking and collaboration in different scientific areas of interest which revolve around Data Science, with particular interest on Smart Data Processing and Systems of Deep Insight.

*ESRs shall, at the time of the event, be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree


Call for Abstracts

ESRs are invited to submit an extended abstract of 2-3 pages in which they will describe an innovative idea for research or application that falls within the scientific areas of the school. The abstract may include also some code, GUI screens or a graphical abstract to better demonstrate the idea. The submission may also involve proof-of-concept work or full applications with demos available.

The abstracts will be evaluated by the consortium and the most interesting ideas will be shortly presented, while brainstorming discussions will follow, which may span more than one day, to investigate whether an idea can be elaborated further to lead to a potential research article for publication. In this case the successful proposers will be invited to come to Cyprus for a period of 2-4 weeks, work their idea at the Cyprus University of Technology with researchers from the consortium and write their papers. The invited ESRs will be financially supported by DESTINI covering the expenses of their air ticket and accommodation, plus a daily allowance for the period of their stay.
