Are you currently working on a PhD thesis dealing with knowledge management, knowledge technologies, or semantic systems? Do you have questions about how to proceed with your particular project? Do you want to receive feedback on your ideas or methodology? Do you want to meet fellow PhD students and talk about your hopes and fears? Have you recently finished your PhD thesis and want to share your experiences from this challenging time with others? Do you want to talk about your research results or introduce others to your novel approaches? Or, do you want to give some feedback to PhD students who present their ideas and projects? Do you have some ideas about future challenges and want to suggest them as upcoming PhD thesis?   In all these cases you should visit the Open PhD Session at i-KNOW/ i-SEMANTICS 2012 on Thursday, September 6, 2012! We will start at 11.00 am and finish at lunch. The session is open to all registered participants of i-KNOW/ i-SEMANTICS 2012.
