Welcome, ice-breaking activities, discussion on academic well-being, building a mentoring network, how to get the most out of your mentoring experience, etc.
Presentation on networking/making friends at conferences with interactive activities to practice, aiming to help students get the most out of ICSE experience.
Small mentoring pods led by many mentors based on different topics. Topics include (not limited to) Time Management & Work-life Balance, Mental Health, Research Career Path & Job Market, Communication & Presentation, Improving Visibility & Impact, Finding Suitable Advisors/Labs/Colloborators & Forming Relationships, International Students in a Foreign Country, Underrepresented Group, Small University and/or Department, etc.
Free-style AMA (Ask-Me-Anything) panel discussion. We will have one panelist seat open for anyone to join spontaneously when you have something to share about the topic under discussion. The topics will be driven by students. We will collect questions from students prior to the event and start with common questions.
The poster session takes place in three iterations by 8–9 papers. Some posters include small demos.
Round Table Panels are intended as open discussions among all participants on topics of interest that we collected in a survey before the workshop. We will prepare a list of items for discussion, but we encourage you to share any thoughts.
We plan small group talks on more specific topics. We collected a preliminary list of topics from the survey and have some hosts to lead them, however, we encourage everyone to launch and lead their own groups.
