DCE 2015 - 1st Doctoral Student Congress in Engineering

Doctoral and Master's Students from all national and international higher education institutions are invited to submit on-going work and/or results in their respective field of engineering to be presented at the Congress specific Symposia/Special Track.
Given the multi-disciplinary scope of DCE2015, submissions are expected to highlight the motivation, contextualization and future applicability of their work, rather than field specific details.
Submissions of abstracts will be eligible for either oral or poster presentations decided by the Symposia Committee. The best oral and poster presentations will have the opportunity to win a community award (to be announced shortly).
After reviewed by authors (see deadline for re-submission of extended and reviewed abstracts), a Proceedings Book will be published with all abstracts.
Moreover, authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper in a special issue of the U.Porto Journal of Engineering. The announcement of the selected abstracts will be made after the congress, together with further instructions for the authors.
Researchers and professors from all academic institutions, as well as members of industry, are also invited to participate as attendees. DCE 2015 is an excellent opportunity for students, of the several areas of engineering, to discuss their on-going research with peers, professors and industry.
