The PHM Europe Doctoral Symposium — held for the fourth time as part of the Student Track — offers PhD students a unique opportunity to present their research plans at an early stage of their doctoral studies. Participants receive structured guidance from a panel of distinguished researchers, along with feedback from conference attendees and fellow students in an open and supportive environment.
The 9th European Conference of the Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) Society invites doctoral candidates working in anomaly detection, diagnostics, prognostics, or predictive maintenance to submit their research proposals for consideration. Selected students will also present their work during the conference poster session, and their abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings.
