The MAPi Doctoral Symposium, edition 2025/2026, will take place this 25th and 26th of September, at Department of Informatics (DI), University of Minho. We apologize for the slight alteration to the initially planned dates (26 and 27), due to logistical issues

All students must attend in person. Remote participation is only possible for very specific cases.

It would be recommended that student's supervisor(s) be present as well. If not possible, remote participation is possible.

Apart from the activities particularly oriented to 1st year students (2025/2026), welcome session and presentation of courses, we will have two types of sessions:

Pre-thesis Defense: Duration 1h (15-20min student's presentation, 25-30min discussion, 5min superviso(s) comments, final remarks). Following the discussion, a short meeting (max. 30min) of the evalution committee will take place. The student will be informed of the final result just after the meeting.

Progress Reports:   Each student will have allocated a time-slot of 15min (10min presentation,5min questions, recommendations, supervisor comments).
