NOTES

  • For registration you will need to follow the instructions as outlined at the website of the International Foundation for Production Research (https://ifpr-icpr.net/?page_id=9). Alternatively, you can contact the Chair of the Committee Doctoral Training and Early Career Researchers Programme: dr. ir. Rob Dekkers (rob.dekkers@glasgow.ac.uk).
  • You will be eligible for participating in this programme if you have completed your doctoral study between 0
    and 60 months before the first day of the conference. If you fulfil this condition, you may send an application
    to the Doctoral Training and Early Career Researchers Committee; the application should contain:
    • A certified copy of your diploma/award of your doctoral degree.
    • A curriculum vitae, including an overview of academic achievements (journal papers, contributions to conferences, research funding [if possible]).
    • Two letters of reference from academics (one at least from a different academic institution that awarded you the doctoral degree or the university you are working for).
    • A letter of motivation.
  • Note that the organisers of the 25th International Conference on Production Research will charge a compulsory subsistence fee for attending the Early Career Researchers Programme. For more information see the website of the conference: http://icpr26.thu.edu.tw/
  • The Early Career Researchers Programme is only accessible for those that have completed their doctoral degree between 0 and 60 months before the first day of the official conference.
  • Only by applying AND attending all sessions, you will qualify for selection for the Early Career Researchers Mentoring Award; to be eligible for this award, you should have completed your doctoral study between 0 and 36 months before the first day of the conference.
  • The deadline for applying to the Early Career Researchers Programme is 1st June, 2021 (GMT); however if at the deadline there are still spaces open you can apply until 1st July 2021.
  • Note that the maximum number of participants is limited to 24. Those that have attended the doctoral workshops of the International Foundation for Production Research (and are included in the official registry) are prioritised above other potential candidates.  Might there be more than eligible 24 candidates at the deadline of 1st June 2021 (GMT), then the Committee Doctoral Training and Early Career Researchers Programme will prioritise attendance and notify the applicants as soon as possible.  Might less than 24 eligible candidates apply by this deadline, then applications will be treated on a ‘first come, first serve’ basis until 1st July, 2021.
  • For the session ‘Meet the Board Event’ (Sunday 18th July, 2021) you have to prepare a poster or presentation about your doctoral study; note that alternative formats are allowed due to the virtual delivery. This presentation should cover your research project, but not necessarily the contents of the paper you are presenting during the conference.
  • To receive a certificate, you are expected to attend all sessions. The organisers of the 26th International Conference on Production Research will ensure that the presentation of a paper will not coincide with attendance to the Early Career Researchers Programme.
