Young Reviewers Program Virtual Event – Join Us!

  • Have you ever received shallow or poorly written reviews for your papers?
  • Have you ever wondered whether – and to what extent – AI tools can be used responsibly in the peer-review process?
  • Do you feel fully confident in the conference or journal’s review policies, including double-anonymous reviewing?

If these questions resonate with you, we warmly invite you to join the Young Reviewers Program Virtual Event!

The Young Reviewers Program (YRP) within the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS), aims to assist and guide RAS members toward best practices in the peer review of scientific papers. 

This virtual event is designed as an informal opportunity to learn more about RAS’s review process, discuss current challenges in peer review, and share practical guidelines for writing effective reviews, including emerging topics such as the role of AI in reviewing workflows.

 Both Senior Reviewers, who believe that we never stop learning, and Young Reviewers, eager to dive deeper into the world of peer review, are welcome to join the event and take part in the conversation.

 Participation is free of charge, but space is limited.

Date: 17 February 2026

Time: 5:00 PM (CET)

 

Please register in advance to secure your spot. Connection details will be shared with registered participants.
