Young FIDE Seminar (ONLINE)

Following a by-now good tradition, the FIDE 2021 Congress in the Netherlands features a Young FIDE Seminar (previously the PhD-Seminar). In contrast to the main congress, which was moved to 3 to 6 November 2021, the Young FIDE Seminar takes place on 12 May 2021 in a modified online format. This online event is hosted by Leiden University. During the Young FIDE Seminar young researchers and practitioners can share their own contributions on one of the three FIDE main topics. Attendance during the online seminar is open to all young EU scholars (researchers and graduate students) and practitioners, independent of participation in the main FIDE 2021 Congress. During the Young FIDE Seminar, selected papers on the three FIDE topics will be presented by the authors and discussed by expert panels in three parallel sessions. We are looking forward to an intense and constructive exchange of arguments and ideas during the Young FIDE Seminar.

Attendance of the online Young FIDE Seminar is free of charge. For participants of this seminar who wish to attend the FIDE 2021 Congress – projected to take place from 3 to 6 November 2021 – there is a reduced fee of 350 EUR (early registration) or 400 EUR (late registration) available. Please note, however, participation during the Young FIDE Seminar does not require participation during the main FIDE Congress.

Please note as well that registration to the online event is required in order to receive access to the Young FIDE Seminar.
