[General] EUROGRAPHICS 2016 - Call for Doctoral Consortium

EUROGRAPHICS 2016 - Call for Doctoral Consortium (Submissions deadline: December 14th, 2015) <http://eurographics2016.pt/call-for-doctoral-consortium/> http://eurographics2016.pt/call-for-doctoral-consortium/ The recently created Eurographics 2016 Doctoral Consortium is a new networking event that provides PhD students, working in all areas of computer graphics, with an 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. The Doctoral Consortium also allows PhD students to share their work and experience with other students in similar situations. The Doctoral Consortium will be co-located with the Eurographics 2016 conference in Lisbon, May 9-13, 2016. PhD students working in all areas of computer graphics are encouraged to apply. We encourage applications from students who are about at the middle of their PhD work – the ones who still have time to be influenced by participation in the Consortium, but who already have a clear research direction, and possibly have published some results – as well as the ones who are close to finishing, or who have very recently finished, their doctorate degree, to share their experience and to discuss their ongoing research and future research plans. Submission Guidelines Electronic submission should be conducted using the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2016DC> Eurographics Submission and Review Management (SRM) system. Format should be in accordance with <http://www.eg.org/index.php/publications/guidelines> Eurographics Author’s guidelines. The review process is single-blinded.
