Doctoral Consortium at CHITALY 2019
=======================================
The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide a setting in which PhD students can present and receive feedback on their work. The Doctoral Consortium also aims to provide students with useful guidance on various aspects of their research from established researchers and the other student attendees. Finally, the Doctoral Consortium seeks to motivate students in the development of their scientific curiosity and facilitate their networking within the research community.
The topics of the Doctoral Consortium are the same as CHItaly’s. The main goal of the consortium is to enables PhD students to interact with their peers, as well as with more senior researchers, on a wide range of Human-Computer Interaction related topics.
The consortium is open to PhD students worldwide at any stage in their research. Students at an initial stage should be able to challenge their ideas and current research directions. Students at a more mature stage should be able to present their thesis and get advice on ways to further improve and better communicate their contributions and findings.
=======================================
Important dates for Doctoral Consortium
=======================================
June 1: Submission deadline
