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. This label is equally valid in our context. OTMA Ph.D. students get the opportunity of publishing 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 highly positive and inspiring atmosphere, so that the students can improve not only their research capacities but also their presentation and writing skills. OTMA participants also learn how to review scientific papers. And they enjoy ample possibilities to build and expand their professional network. This includes personal feedback and exclusive time of prominent experts on-site. In addition, thanks to an OTMA LinkedIn-group the students can stay in touch with all OTMA participants and interested researchers. And last but not least, an ECTS credit certificate rewards their hard work.
