All accepted papers will bepublished in IEEE Xplore.

PRIME has been established over the recent years as an important conference where PhD students and post-docs with less than one year post-PhD experience can present their research results and network with experts from industry, academia and research.

The main objectives of PRIME are:

• to encourage favourable exposure to Ph.D. students in the early stages of their careers,
• to benchmark Ph.D. research in a friendly and cooperative environment,
• to enable sharing of student and supervisor experiences of scientific and engineering research,
• to connect Ph.D. students and their supervisors with companies and research centres.
