The Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for research students to present and discuss their dissertation research with senior researchers and other students in an interdisciplinary workshop setting. We invite applications from students who have defined their dissertation research direction but still have substantial work to complete.

Benefits of Participation

  • Receive constructive feedback on your dissertation work from senior researchers and peers
  • Network with other doctoral students working in HCI and related fields
  • Gain mentoring from experienced faculty members
  • Discussions about career ambitions and development strategies
  • Develop your research and presentation skills
  • Published extended abstract in the conference proceedings
  • Special networking events during the main conference

Submission Guidelines

  • A paper up to 4 pages long (excluding references). This section will be published, and should include:
    • Author name, affiliation, and contact information. The advisors and collaborators of the students cannot co-author submissions
    • Problem statement and motivation
    • Related work and background
    • Research questions and objectives
    • Methodology and current status
    • Results and/or expected contributions
  • A 2-page curriculum vitae and Timeline for completion (not to be published)

Please adhere to the Electronic Workshops in Computing paper format. Authors should submit their documents in PDF format as a single PDF.

All submissions will undergo a juried-by-committee process. Participants will be selected based on:
