The ETS 2024 Ph.D. Forum aims at boosting the exchange of ideas, experiences, and perspective of young Ph.D. students, whose research interests are related to the broad areas of electronic-based circuit and system testing, reliability, security, and validation. During a dedicated poster session, the fresh Ph.D. students will have the opportunity to discuss their ongoing research work with very well-known specialists and world-leading experts in their field of research both from academia and industry. This offers an excellent opportunity to the Ph.D. students to receive valuable feedback while gaining exposure in the job market. Furthermore, the PhD forum also provides a great chance for industry experts to meet junior researchers, giving an avenue for incorporating the latest research developments into their companies.
Eligibility
The PhD forum is dedicated to young students in their first years of the PhD academic path working on ETS related topics. The forum will be organized as a special poster session in an attractive time slot. Interested PhD students are invited to submit extended abstracts of 2 pages.

Publications
Accepted contributions become part of the Informal Digest of the European Test Week 2024. The informal contributions will not be sent for indexing by IEEE Xplore. Instead, the Informal Digest will be made available to all ETS attendees in electronic format. Hence, a later, more complete publication of the work in another conference or journal will still be possible.
PhD Forum Award
The PhD forum selection committee will review all the presented papers checking the technical content of the paper and the presentation capacity of the candidates, and select the Best PhD forum paper. The PhD Forum Award will be announced during the ETS'24 closing session. The best paper of the PhD Forum will be allowed two pages in the official publications of the conference indexed by IEEE Xplore.
