Verizon Connect Italy

It is our pleasure to communicate that the organizing Committe of ODS2022, in collaboration with  Verizon Connect Italy,  offers a grant to support the registration of two young female researchers.

In order to be eligible for this grant, a participant must satisfy the following requirements:

  • Gender: female
  • Age: 30 years at most (at registration time)
  • currently Master or PhD student, or post-doc fellow
  • Submitted an abstract (or a short paper) to the conference in which she is the presenting author

Proposals will be judged by a committee, composed of the members of the Organizing Committee of ODS2022 and dr Francesco Sambo, Chief Scientist at Verizon Connect (or a delegate)

The grant will cover the registration fees for the two winners. Winners will be selected by the committee based on:

  • the abstract contents, with particular, although not exclusive, reference to research topics which are subject of current research at Verizon Connect. These topics include, among others:
    • deep learning
    • video analytics
    • object detection
    • connected vehicles
    • safety on board of vehicles
    • routing
    • scheduling
  • a curriculum vitae et studiorum

The decision of the Committee is not subject to any kind of revision. Winners will have the Verizon Connect logo printed on their badge and in the book of abstract.

In order to participate to the selection, after posting an abstract or a paper through the ODS2022 site, candidates should fill a google form  no later than May 10. 2022. We kindly ask all participants to wait, before registering, the official anounce about this grant (we plan to publish the results a few days after the deadline). We will in any case give the possibility to register using the early date fees to all participants who did not get the grant, at least for a few days after the deadline.

NB: If you have difficulties with the above google form (maybe because you do not have a google account) you can, alternatively, fill this google form, where it is not required to upload pdf files (abstract and CV need to be pasted as regular text)
