FMCAD 2026 Student Forum CFP

September 14-18, 2026, Graz, Austria

=======================================================================

Continuing the tradition of the previous years, FMCAD 2026 is hosting a
Student Forum that provides a platform for students at any career stage
(undergraduate or graduate) to introduce their research to the wider
Formal Methods community, and solicit feedback.

Important Dates
---------------------

Student forum abstract submission: Tuesday, June 16, 2026
Student forum submission: Monday, June 22, 2026
Student forum notification: Tuesday, July 21, 2026

All deadlines are 11:59 pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth)

More info here: https://fmcad.org/FMCAD26/student_forum/

Main Activities
-------------------

Each student will give a short presentation and present their poster in
the poster session.

Submissions for the event must be short reports describing research
ideas or ongoing work that the student is currently pursuing and must be
within the scope of FMCAD. Work, part of which has been previously
published, will be considered; the novel aspect to be addressed in
future work must be clearly described in such cases. All submissions
will be reviewed by the Student Forum’s program committee.

Format
----------

The event will consist of short presentations by the student authors of
each accepted submission, and of a poster that will be on display
throughout the duration of the conference. All participants of the
conference are encouraged to attend the talks and approach the students
during the poster presentation. Instructions for the preparation of the
talks and poster sessions will be announced on notification of
acceptance.

Visibility
-----------

Accepted submissions will be listed, with title and author name, in the
event description in the conference proceedings. The report itself will
not appear in the FMCAD proceedings. Thus, the presentation at the forum
should not interfere with potential future submissions of this research
(to FMCAD or elsewhere).

Travel Awards
-------------------

Limited funds may be available to support travel and/or conference
registration, which will be reimbursed after the conference. The first
author of each contribution will be given priority over other authors.
Please ensure you keep all receipts for reimbursement. Further
instructions on how to apply for financial support will be provided
soon.

Submissions
-----------------

Submissions must be short reports describing research ideas or ongoing
work that the student is currently pursuing. The topic of the reports
must be within the scope of the FMCAD conference. These reports will not
be published, therefore we welcome reports based on already
submitted/published papers. However, the novel aspects to be addressed
in future work must be clearly described.

Submissions should follow the same formatting guidelines as those for
regular FMCAD conference submissions, except that the length is limited
to 2 pages IEEE format (excluding references).

Each student may only submit one report as the main author. The main
author is expected to present their poster at the poster session.

Please submit in the Student Forum track using EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmcad2026.

Advice: Focus on the key idea and try to convey it to the reader in an
intuitive way. Provide a clear motivation and emphasize novel concepts
and contributions. Avoid unnecessary notational clutter unless it is a
widely used formalism and helps make the paper more concise and clear.
Only describe related work that is absolutely crucial to your
contribution: the limited space available should be used to present your
work.

Forum Chairs
