Kurzbeschreibung: The ICBO and FOIS 2012 conferences (International Conference on Biomedical Ontology + International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems) will host a joint Early Career Symposium. This event is designed to provide an opportunity for current PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to give a short presentation of their research with ample time for feedback and mentorship. It will also allow participants to network with other early career scientists in ontology and biomedicine. While attendance is open to anyone registered for one of the main conferences, presenters should be active doctoral students or postdoctoral researchers.

Submission Guidelines
Intending participants should submit an extended abstract, which may be a description of their current or planned research, an abstract of their PhD proposal, or a description of a related issue such as methodology. The research should either have a significant ontology component already or a plan to utilize ontologies in the future. All topics that fall into the scope of the conference are welcome.
Submission is via EasyChair, according to this template.

Presentations at the ECS will be given by doctoral or early postdoctoral researchers which have to register for the ECS. Accepted submissions will be presented as short talks (timing will depend on the final number of accepted submissions), with additional time for questions and discussion. Accepted submissions will be published in a symposium booklet (PDF).

Travel Funds
A limited number of travel grants for the conferences may become available. Interested applicants should send an e-mail to Ludger Jansen
