Workshop for Young Female Researchers in Speech Science & Technology 2018
A workshop for women undergraduate and masters students who are currently working in speech science and technology is to be held at Interspeech 2018 on September 1, 2018, from 9 am to 5 pm followed by a dinner with invited senior members of the Interspeech community. It will feature panel discussions with senior female researchers in the field, student poster presentations and a mentoring session.
The workshop is the third of its kind, after a successful inaugural event YFRSW 2016, at Interspeech 2016 in San Francisco and YFRSW 2017 at Interspeech 2017 in Stockholm. 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.
Travel funds are available for students accepted to attend the workshop. Up to $2000 is available for each student, reimbursing for economy-class flights, hotel (two nights), meals, and transportation to the venue.
