Meeting Description:

The Young Female* Researchers in Speech Workshop (YFRSW) is a workshop
for female* Bachelor’s and Master’s students currently working in
speech science and technology. The workshop aims to promote interest
in research in our field among women* who have not yet committed to
pursuing a PhD in speech science or technology, but who have already
gained research experience at their universities through individual or
group projects.

*The workshop is open for marginalized genders, including women, as
well as non-binary and gender non-conforming people who are
comfortable in a space that is centered on women’s experiences in the
speech science and technology community. We aim to offer an inclusive
and accessible program. If you are unsure if this workshop is for you,
please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

YFRSW 2024 will be held prior to Interspeech 2024 on Saturday, August
31st, 2024. The event will take place on Kos Island in Greece. The
workshop will feature panel discussions with PhD students and senior
researchers in the field, student poster presentations, and a
mentoring session. Student poster presentations should give an
overview of a current or planned research project in which the student
is involved, with an emphasis on promoting discussion.

Call for Papers:

YFRSW 2024 is the eighth of its kind, after a successful inaugural
event YFRSW 2016 in San Francisco/USA, followed by YFRSW 2017 in
Stockholm/Sweden, YFRSW 2018 in Hyderabad/India, YFRSW 2019 in
Graz/Austria, a virtual YFRSW 2021, YFRSW 2022 in Incheon/South Korea,
and YFRSW 2023 in Dublin/Ireland. (No event was held in 2020 due to
Covid-19.)

Students who are accepted to the workshop will receive a grant to pay
for their student Interspeech registration (at the early-bird student
rate) and to contribute towards travel costs.

Participation in the workshop will be possible in person only (as long
as Interspeech has an in-person component). Thus you will be asked at
the time of abstract submission to confirm that you will attend the
workshop in person if you are accepted.

Eligibility:
All female* Bachelor's and Master’s students are eligible to apply,
with the only requirement that they are a current student. This is
regardless of other factors such as age or location in the world.
While students who have previously attended the workshop are welcome
to submit their work a second time, only first-time attendees are
eligible to receive financial support.

How to submit:
To apply to the workshop, please send an abstract describing your
(planned) research (maximum of 300 words excluding references) to
youngfemaleresearchersinspeech at gmail.com until Saturday, May 11th,
2024. Please download and use the template on our website for your
abstract submission (submit as DOC, do not convert to PDF). When
submitting your abstract, please let us know whether you have or have
not participated in YFRSW before.

Abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee and applicants
will be notified before the early-bird registration deadline for
Interspeech. We will emphasize inclusivity, but all submissions should
be in the core scientific domains covered by Interspeech
(https://interspeech2024.org/).

Please note that by submitting to the workshop you agree that in case
of acceptance:
    - Your abstract will be published on our website.
    - Your name and email address will be shared with our sponsors.
    - Photos taken at the workshop will be published for promotional
purposes (for example on our website).

Accessibility: Please indicate if you have any access requirements so
that we may facilitate you in attending this event.
