MATES 2010 Doctoral Mentoring Program

MATES 2010 will include a doctoral mentoring program to support PhD students in early as well as advanced stages of their research. Furthermore, the doctoral mentoring program provides a platform for discussion from young researchers and experienced researchers on topics of distributed AI as well as agent related topics. In the doctoral mentoring program, students interact closely with established researchers in their fields, to receive feedback on their work and to get advice on managing their careers.

• Match each student with an established researcher who will act as a mentor.
• Allow students an opportunity to present their work to a friendly audience of other students, as well as mentors.
• Provide students with contacts and networking opportunities.
