ACI2021 call for Doctoral Consortium Applications

​

As a discipline, ACI is still developing and doing a doctoral degree in ACI is likely to present students with challenges that are specifically related to the novelty of their chosen topics; it is also likely that some of these challenges will be shared. To provide students with additional support towards completing their degree, we are holding a doctoral consortium. During this session students will be able to briefly present their work to peers and researchers, and discuss specific challenges they might have encountered during their studies.

​

Submissions should include the following:

​

• a proposal up to 6 pages (plus references) detailing their research topic, problem and questions, envisaged methods, current status and any issues that they have encountered and wish to discuss at the Doctorial Consortium.

• a 2-page CV.

• a short cover letter summarising: a) the topic; b) the name and email of the advisor(s); c) stage at in research; d) questions to get help from the community on.

 

The above should be submitted as a *single* PDF file using the new ACM Template.

​

Applications to the Doctoral Consortium will be juried and selected based on clarity of topic presentation and relevance of issues raised. 

​

Accepted abstracts will be published in the ACI2021 Conference Proceedings, provided that the author registers for the conference and attends the Doctoral Consortium session.
