Specific call for Student papers contributions

Annual book published by the ATHENA European University

Background and Motivation

ATHENA aims to foster excellence in research and innovation by facilitating international cooperation. The ATHENA Research Book (ARB) provides a platform that promotes joint and interdisciplinary research projects of both advanced and early-career researchers. Volume 1 is available via DOI: https://doi.org/10.18690/um.3.2022.

Student Contributions

The student contributions can be either

(a) short communications on student theses at the master’s or doctoral level or
(b) short communications on best practices and cooperation models, displaying the interrelation of teaching courses and the research from the students’ perspective, whereby supervisor/mentor involvement should also be noted.

Predominantly student works presenting new aspects and/or preliminary results should apply. Supporting the open access to research publications and research data, the preliminary research achievements should be published in open access repositories, e.g. ArXiv, PubMed Central, national open access repositories or EOSC (European Open Science Cloud) related resources.

The supervisor(s)/mentor(s) need to be clearly mentioned below the title (see template); submission of the student paper is treated as approved by them.

Each student contribution will be assigned a unique DOI.

Submission guidelines

Review and reviewers
