Q: What makes this Doctoral Consortium different from others?
A: The ultimate goal is to give PhD students a deep, complete and truthful feedback on their ideas, and to give him/her the opportunity to get in touch with other (established) researchers in the domain. They should not only get feedback on the topic itself but also on matters such as background knowledge and presentation techniques. After this experience the PhD student should feel more confident about the way (s)he has to work by having concrete steps towards a completion of a doctoral work. The benefits of this process are not only for the student herself, but also add value to the quality of work done in the corresponding supervisor's group. Therefore, each PhD student will dispose of about 25 minutes time for presentation and 35 minutes for discussion (in total 60 minutes for him/her)! An additional discriminating factor is the idea of having each paper thoroughly read by at least 2 professors asking questions and giving hints to the PhD students. | |

Q: Should I submit an abstract - as mentioned on the submission cyberchair web site?
A: No! Just fill in your name, email, title etc. and put a one-liner in the abstract field to show your intention to submit. |
