The 10th OnTheMove Academy Chairs’ Message

Abstract

The term ‘academy’, originating from Greek antiquity, implies a strong mark of quality and excellence in higher education and research that is upheld by its members. In the ten past editions, the OTM Academy has yearly innovated its way of working to uphold its mark of quality and excellence. OTMA Ph.D. students students publish their work in a highly reputed publication channel, namely the Springer LNCS OTM workshops proceedings. The OTMA faculty members, who are well-respected researchers and practitioners, critically reflect on the students’ work in a positive and inspiring atmosphere, so that the students learn to improve not only their research capacities but also their presentation and writing skills. OTMA participants learn how to review scientific papers. They also enjoy ample possibilities to build and expand their professional network thanks to access to all OTM conferences and workshops. And last but not least, an ECTS credit certificate rewards their hard work.
