Research and Career Planning
for Doctoral Students

Write an introduction to a scientific paper and use the criteria presented during the lecture. There is no template for the introduction, choose whatever template you are familiar with. Just please do not write your name in the submitted file. Upload your file until the first deadline using EasyChair.
After uploading your introduction, you will be assigned 10 introductions written by your peers, which you will have to review until the second deadline.
The best reviews will be revealed during the last session, after the presentations. We will send you reminders and other information, as needed.

Please make sure that your presentations cover the following points:
