         Call for Participation
Doctoral Forum at the ISSI2007 conference
            24 June, 2007
            Madrid, Spain

For the second time a Doctoral Forum is offered at the biannual
conference of the International Society for Scientometrics and
Informetrics (ISSI). The Doctoral Forum at the ISSI2007 conference in
Madrid, Spain is a chance for doctoral students to present their
research projects to senior researchers and to their colleagues, and in
return receive constructive feedback. The primary objective of the
Doctoral Forum is to provide doctoral students with a forum to present
and discuss their research projects with senior researchers and fellow
students and to develop their relationships with other scientists.

Due to the time consuming form of the Doctoral Forum, the number of
participants is restricted. The doctoral forum is only open to the
invited senior researchers and the accepted students. There is no
separate fee for attending the doctoral forum, but participation
requires the students register for the conference.
