Important RCDL goals are attraction of young scientists and students to work on current issues in the field of digital libraries and creation of a platform for scientific discussions of the science, higher education and industry representatives. Program Committee will identify and mark the best student papers on RCDL.
Traditionally, the conference RCDL is supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR). Therefore, young authors or co-authors of the papers, presented at the conference, can count on the support of RFBR in the annual contest "mob_3_ros" (participation of young Russian scientists in scientific events held in Russia).
As a tradition, the "Russian Information Retrieval Evaluation Seminar" and the workshop "Doctoral Research on Information Technologies Related with Digital Libraries" are co-located with the conference. The doctoral workshop provides to the authors of papers selected on the basis of preliminary reviewing, the opportunity to present current results of their research and discuss their strengths and weaknesses with more experienced colleagues. The best papers of the workshop are also recommended for publication in journals recognized by the VAK.
