Early career researchers will be able to discuss their research directions, ideas, goals, methods, and (possibly) results. The Early Career Symposium aims to provide students with helpful guidance on different aspects of their research from established researchers and other attendees. Finally, the Early Career Symposium seeks to facilitate students networking within the FOIS research community. The topics of interest of the ECS are the same as the main conference. The symposium is primarily designed for PhD students, but it is open as well for recently graduated PhDs. Format: The ECS will be held as an on-site event during the FOIS conference. It will consist of: 1) a mentoring lunch, in which ECS participants will be assigned senior researchers to provide feedback on participants’ work; 2) a fast-talks session, where participants will have the opportunity to advertise their work in a 5 minutes speech in front of the general audience of the conference; 3) a traditional poster session. With the ECS, the next generation of researchers at FOIS gets an opportunity to network and build up their careers. To this aim, we also plan to have an informal ECS/students dinner during the conference — you will be asked to choose whether to participate in the registration process. Submissions: Submission deadline: March 15th Notification of acceptance: April 15th To join the ECS, candidates should write a summary (up to 3 pages excluding references) of their research project and upload it together with their short CV. You can find the template here: latex, doc, docx, odt, pdf. The template is meant to be used as a general reference to organize the description of the submitted research project in different sections with specific contents. Make sure that the final version of your submission is in a single PDF file. Submissions will be reviewed by selected members of the FOIS Program Committee. Final submission is via EasyChair (see submission instructions): https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=fois2023. After signing in, please select ‘make a new submission’ and then the ‘Early Career Symposium’ track.

The Seventh Image Schema Day ISD7 at KR2023 September 2-4 Rhodos, Greece https://imageschema.net/image-schema-day After the success of last year's workshop at Jönköping University, we are happy to announce that The Image Schema Day is back for the seventh time! This time we are joining The 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2023) in Rhodes, Greece. As in previous years, ISD7 is a networking event that invites researchers on image schemas, conceptual primitives and spatiotemporal reasoning from a broad range of scientific disciplines to present their research and discuss ideas for future projects. Unlike many other workshops focused on different topics in one discipline or using one methodology, the Image Schema Day invites researchers from all disciplines and methodologies but focuses on one main topic. The workshop offers a friendly environment for researchers of all stages who are interested in presenting and discussing work on the formal and analytical treatment of conceptual patterns, embodied cognition and the interdisciplinary exploration of human thought! The workshop accepts three kinds of submissions: - Abstracts for presentation (2 pages) (NOTE: these are not included in the proceedings.) - Extended abstracts (5 pages) of work in progress or summaries of recently published articles. - Research papers (5-10 pages) discussing novel research not published (or under review) at another venue. Topics of interest with (the broadest of interpretation of) an image-schematic focus include: - analysis of conceptual metaphors - formalisation of affordances and force dynamics - spatiotemporal reasoning - commonsense reasoning - conceptual modelling - use cases of embodied cognition - formal approaches to analogical reasoning - formal concept analysis - applications in cognitive robotics - image-schematic interface design - art and literature analysis All submissions will be peer-reviewed and accepted contributions will be included in the ISD7 proceedings and presented at the workshop! Submission instructions can be found on the event website. Important dates: - Submission deadline: June 2nd - Notification of acceptance: July 1st - Workshop dates: September 2-4 We are looking forward to seeing you at ISD7! // The ISD7 organisers, Maria M. Hedblom and Oliver Kutz *...and yes, we are back with our psychedelic posters!Love it/hate it - we don't care - but please spread it! :) * [image: ISD7atKR_POSTER.png] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
