EUROGRAPHICS 2016 - Call for Doctoral Consortium

(Submissions deadline: December 14th, 2015)

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 Eurographics Submission and Review Management (SRM) system. Format should be in accordance with Eurographics Author’s guidelines. The review process is single-blinded. Thus, the submissions should NOT be anonymous. All authors of accepted submissions are expected to attend the Doctoral Consortium where they will present their work.

Eligible Doctoral students who would like to participate in the Doctoral Consortium should submit the following materials as a single PDF file:

1. Research Statement: A 3-4 pages abstract summarizing her/his dissertation research, singly authored by herself/himself.

2. Poster design in A0 size poster orientation: which will be used by the author to present their work at the Doctoral Consortium.

3. Supervisor’s letter of support: A one-page signed letter from the student’s PhD supervisor, that supports her/his attendance at the Doctoral Consortium.

4. Curriculum vitae: A 1-2 pages CV plus the list of all publications.
