6th PhD Research Symposium

Ph.D. students are invited to submit a summarized version of their completed thesis for the 6th Ph.D. Research Symposium (PRS 2027), organized as part of 23rd ICDCIT 2027. The symposium aims to provide an international platform for doctoral researchers to present their research contributions in Computer Science and Engineering and its applications across diverse domains.

The symposium offers an opportunity for research scholars to showcase their innovative work, receive valuable feedback from experts, and interact with fellow researchers from academia and industry. It also facilitates the exchange of ideas, promotes collaborations, and highlights how academic research can be translated into practical industrial and societal applications. Furthermore, the symposium encourages young researchers to gain insights into emerging research trends and identify future research directions.

The 6th Ph.D. Research Symposium will be held during 8th–11th January 2027. Authors of accepted book chapters, selected through a rigorous peer-review process, will be invited to present their research during the symposium.
