IDA is organizing the 2026 edition of the PhD Forum, aimed at PhD students.
This mentoring program aims to connect PhD students with senior scientists who share their experience to help advance the students’ research and academic careers. Meetings will be arranged during the conference to allow discussion between the students and mentors.
Objectives
The objectives of the PhD Forum are:
– to provide doctoral researchers with the opportunity to present their ongoing work and receive constructive feedback from experienced researchers (e.g., IDA Senior Program Committee members),
– to facilitate the establishment of contacts with research teams working in related areas,
– to provide insights into current research trends related to the students’ research topics, thereby expanding the scope of their knowledge.
Submission
The PhD Forum welcomes original research in the field of Intelligent Data Analysis conducted by early-career researchers. Papers will be evaluated based on their relevance to the conference themes and the ability of the student to present:
– the research problem and why it is important to address it,
– the research objectives and questions,
– the planned approach and methods to tackle the problem,
– an outline of the current state of knowledge on the research problem,
– the expected outcomes of the research, such as overviews, algorithms, improved understanding of a concept, a pilot study, a model, or a system.
Short papers (2 pages, including references) must follow the general template provided by the IDA conference (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Submissions will be handled through CMT: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/IDA2026/
(Authors are requested to ensure that they select the IDA2026-PhDTrack).
