Call for Abstracts: Young Female Researchers in Speech Workshop 2019

What it is about:

The Young Female Researchers in Speech Workshop (YFRSW) is a workshop for women undergraduate and masters students who are currently working in speech science and technology. It is designed to foster interest in research in our field in women at the undergraduate or master level who have not yet committed to getting a PhD in speech science or technology areas, but who have had some research experience in their college and universities via individual or group projects.

The workshop is to be held prior to Interspeech 2019 on SaturdaySeptember 14th, 2019, in Graz, Austria. It will feature panel discussions with PhD students and senior researchers in the field, student poster presentations and a mentoring session. Student poster presentations should give an overview of a current or planned research project in which the student is involved, with an emphasis on promoting discussion.

The workshop is the fourth of its kind, after a successful inaugural event  YFRSW 2016, at Interspeech 2016 in San Francisco, USA, YFRSW 2017 at Interspeech 2017 in Stockholm, Sweden,  and YFRSW 2018 at Interspeech in Hyderabad, India.

Travel funds are available for students accepted to attend the workshop.
