The PhD Colloquium at the Winter Simulation Conference is currently accepting submissions. The colloquium is intended for PhD students who are within two years of graduation (planning to graduate by December 2027). This gives an opportunity for students to showcase their work during a short presentation session and poster session at the PhD Colloquium. Presenting your PhD work to your peers and the larger simulation community will give you the opportunity to receive valuable feedback and ideas, as well as introduce you to a network that can be very helpful for your career once you graduate. Here are the key dates:
- August 29, 2025: Electronically submit 2-page extended abstracts.
- September 15, 2025: Notification of acceptance
- September 26, 2025: Final submissions due
All accepted participants are required to present a poster during the poster session and give a short presentation (less than 10 minutes) at the conference. Both ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim provide a complimentary one-year membership will reimburse the conference registration fee for all participants.
If a colloquium participant submitted a Contributed Paper to a regular track, you will be eligible to compete for a best paper award, provided that your full paper is accepted in the regular track. ACM-SIGSIM and INFORMS-Sim will each award a Best PhD Student Paper prize among those students making a presentation at both the PhD Colloquium and in a regular track at the conference.
