Doctoral Workshop at LDIC 2012
Bremen, Germany, February 27, 2012
The Doctoral Workshop is one of the Satellite Events of the 3rd International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics – LDIC 2012 (www.2012.ldic-conference.org). The LDIC 2012 is held in conjunction with the new conference „Impact of Virtual, Remote and Real Logistics Labs” – ImViReLL'12.
The Doctoral Workshop addresses PhD students in an early stage of their PhD project. It offers an opportunity to present and to defend the own research topic, the first ideas for a research approach and the first findings. The purpose is to generate impact for the progress and the excellence of the thesis by discussing and reviewing the research proposals and to present the own research in an international context. Thus, a second integral aspect of the Doctoral Workshop will be the training of professional presentation skills for science and academia.
The Doctoral Workshop intends to provide those PhD students an opportunity who do not have enough results to contribute with a full conference paper. Nevertheless, the PhD candidates should take the opportunity to participate also in the conferences which give access to the worldwide leading capacities in the area of logistics. The accepted participants will be invited to register as student.
