Call for Doctoral Consortium
The Eurographics Doctoral Consortium is a networking event that provides PhD students, working in all areas of computer graphics, with an excellent opportunity to present their work and interact with distinguished and experienced researchers in the field, receiving feedback and mentoring, as well as a different perspective from senior researchers outside their home institution.
In addition, the Doctoral Consortium provides a unique forum for PhD students to share their work and experience among their fellow PhD students.
The Doctoral Consortium will take place within the Eurographics 2018 conference, to be held in Delft, April 16-20, 2018.
Who should apply?
PhD students working in all areas of computer graphics are encouraged to apply. We particularly encourage applications from students who are in the first half of their PhD work, especially those who already have a clear research direction (possibly with some published results), as they have sufficient time ahead to profit from their participation in the Doctoral Consortium.
Students who are close to finishing their doctorate degree, or have very recently finished it, are also welcome, to share their experience and to discuss their ongoing research and future research plans.
Submission guidelines
Submission website: Eurographics Submission and Review Management (SRM) system
Template: Format should be in accordance with Eurographics Author’s guidelines.

Eligible Doctoral Consortium students who would like to participate should submit the following documents as a single PDF file:
1. Research Statement: A 3-4 pages extended abstract summarizing her/his dissertation research, singly authored by herself/himself.
The research statement should transcend the scope of a single publication or project, and instead focus on the general research theme or agenda for the student’s PhD thesis.

Participation
All authors of accepted submissions are expected to attend the Doctoral Consortium, where they will present their work to a panel of experts
For this, the authors will prepare and bring a poster (format A0, portrait orientation) which will be used to present their work.
