The purpose of the Verification Mentoring Workshop is to provide mentoring and career advice to early-stage graduate students, to attract them to pursue research careers in the area of computer-aided verification. The workshop will particularly encourage participation of women and underrepresented minorities.
The workshop program will include a number of talks and interactive sessions. The talks will give an overview of the field along with brief introductions to the varied topics highlighted at CAV 2019. Other talks will provide mentoring and career advice, from academia and industry.
Dates
Workshop: July 13, 2019
Buddy Program
Attending a conference for the first time can be overwhelming and lonely if you don’t know anyone yet! As in previous years, along with the workshop, there will be a buddy program throughout the conference to connect the new and experienced students together. More experienced students can help introduce new students to the field and the CAV community.
If you are a new student or a more experienced student or researcher, and you would like to participate in the Buddy program, please fill this Google form.
If you have questions about the program, please contact Norine Coenen.
