Programme
The School program features 5 Keynote Speeches (KSs) from international renowned scientists and researchers. In addition, several Scientific speeches from industry and research centers will be delivered.
Overall, the School will provide almost 15 hours of frontal lectures (in person) with a final test that, if passed, will grant each PhD student several ECTSs. The exact amount of ECTSs that will be acquired has to be determined by each PhD program Academic Board. A fair and reasonable estimation is between 3 and 5 ECTSs.
The School also has a Poster session where PhD students can show their latest research and achievements. A commission composed of Professors and Researchers will evaluate the posters.

Demo/Poster session
The School will also hold a poster session that allows students to present their latest research.
At the student's discretion, along with the poster, a working demo can be presented. Please note that bring to the session a demo must not to be considered mandatory but just an additional possibility to practically demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented research activities.
POSTER COMPETITION IS OPEN TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO SHOW HIS/HER LATEST RESULTS. HOWEVER, ONLY PH.D. STUDENTS CAN BE ELECTED AS WINNERS.
Though the IEEE ComSoc eHealth PhD School is completely free (i.e., no fees are required to attend) the registration is still necessary.
Therefore, if you intend to participate to the Demo/Poster session, the registration is mandatory.
The submission must occur by sending an email to Andrea Sciarrone.
The mail must contain:
- the poster, A1 sheet as PDF file
- the name of the presenter (must be a PhD student)
DEADLINE: Monday, October 6th EOB (Italy time)
