Mentoring WorkshopETAPS 2019

The ETAPS Mentoring Workshop (EMW) is intended to help students early in the program with advice on research, career, and life in the fields of Computing that are covered by the ETAPS conference. Students will attend lecture that describe key ideas in the field but also how the researchers came up with those ideas, what obstacles they had to overcome and other helpful advice. Students will get to interact one-on-one with researchers at mentoring breakfasts and participate in “role-playing” activities. Prospective Ph.D students (undergraduates and Masters) will be assigned mentors who will help them navigate the conference.
