Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics - Invitation to participate in the conference "Lithuanian MSc Research in Informatics and ICT"

Are you a Master's student, or have you already completed your Master's degree? Would you like to present your Master's thesis research to colleagues from other universities? Participate in the scientific conference "Lithuanian MSc Research in Informatics and ICT", which will take place on May 9, 2023, at the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences (Gedimino pr. 3, Vilnius). The conference is open to the presentation of a wide range of research and applications in the field of informatics and IT.

The conference is organised by the Institute of Data Science and Digital Technologies of Vilnius University (https://www.mii.lt) and the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences (http://www.lma.lt).

What should you do? Submit a paper of 4-6 pages or an extended 1-page abstract to olga.kurasova@mif.vu.lt by May 1. Papers and abstracts can be written in English or Lithuanian. The paper template can be downloaded from https://tinyurl.com/3w9ckxm4. Abstracts should follow the same template. Conference proceedings will be published before the conference. This could be your first published scientific paper. Previous conference proceedings can be found here and here.

What are the benefits? Firstly, it's great to feel you can do a lot. Secondly, you will be able to state in your Master's thesis that the research results were presented at the conference and published in the conference proceedings. This can be considered when the thesis is assessed.

What next? If you enjoy tackling and solving interesting scientific problems, then a PhD is for you. When applying for a PhD, applicants are often assessed on whether they have published scientific work. Attending a conference and publishing a paper can be proof that you are ready for PhD studies.
