Report on the PhD Symposium at WebSci 2024

The Web Science conference series (WebSci) is an established venue for Web related research across disciplines. The co-located PhD symposium is an endeavor in fostering interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration at an early stage. Bringing PhD students from various disciplines together is, according to our understanding, an important step towards a more comprehensive investigation of the Web. As such, the PhD symposium is intended to establish a forum for the next generation of Web Scientists. Following the spirit of "unity in diversity" the many facets of Web related research ranging from computer science, the social sciences, via marketing and economics up to application domains such as, e.g., geography are addressed in this unique event. By doing so, a joint understanding beyond the limits of one's own discipline can emerge that might allow a more interdisciplinary and inclusive future of the Web. Date : 21 May 2024.
