Motivation

The designated purpose of the GI-Dagstuhl Seminars is fostering young researchers by enabling them to explore a designated field or topic.

Proposals for GI-Dagstuhl Seminars are submitted to and approved by the Advisory Board of University Professors of the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GIBU) and funded in part by the Gesellschaft for Informatik e.V. (GI, German Society for Informatics) and by Schloss Dagstuhl. GI-Dagstuhl Seminars are conducted at Schloss Dagstuhl.

GI-Dagstuhl Seminars are research seminars on current informatics topics. The seminars address students at the undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral level who actively want to learn about new developments in informatics. The idea is to disseminate these new developments at universities by selecting participants from a wide range of different fields.

Participation

The seminar participants cover young researchers from throughout the world (students at the undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral level) who have convincingly shown their research skills in the past. Though no preference is given with regard to specific fields of study, an attempt is made to attract participants from a wide variety of academic institutions.

The group of participants is determined by an procedure proposed by the seminar organizers. In the past, an application procedure was often successfully applied, but other procedures are also possible.

Costs and Travel instructions

GI-Dagstuhl Seminars are sponsored by the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. and Schloss Dagstuhl to foster young academics in informatics. A participant of a GI-Dagstuhl-Seminar pays 50 EUR per night for accomodation/full board.

Travel instructions and useful information about the seminar venue at Schloss Dagstuhl are available here.

Format of Proposal

Applicants for a GI-Dagstuhl Seminar are renowned scientists in the field of the seminar topic. The proposal should be informal and should not have more than 1-2 pages. The proposal should contain the names of the organizers as well as a description of the seminar topic. Further informations (e.g., about the application procedure or about the scheduling of the seminar organization) can be added.
