Doctoral Consortium
Call For Participation
Important Dates
Doctoral Consortium Submission Deadline: 21-July-2024 (extended to July 29th)
Doctoral Consortium Notification: 04-August-2024
Objective
The SBP-BRiMS 2024 Doctoral Consortium will provide doctoral students with a unique opportunity to interact with experienced researchers in the areas of cultural behavioral modeling, prediction, and social computing, and discuss with them about their ongoing research and career plans. The Doctoral Consortium also aims at establishing a worldwide, supportive community of doctoral students working on the related areas and promoting social and intellectual interactions among students and researchers from academia, industry, and government.
Format
The consortium chair will invite senior researchers and experts in the related areas to serve as panelists and/or external reviewers of the submissions. Each accepted Ph.D. student will have the opportunity to present a 15 minute presentation on his/her accepted work, followed by discussion, advice, and suggestions from the expert panel as well as the audience. Additionally, the accepted Ph.D. students will have the chance to (a) participate in a mentor-mentee lunch for an in-depth discussion with senior researchers in the conference, and (b) present their work at the conference Poster Session, to interact with a broader audience of the main conference.
Eligibility
Prospective student attendees should already have a clear direction for research and possibly have published some results along the direction.
Review criteria and publication
Selections will be based on a 1-page abstract. The first author must be a doctoral student wishing to attend and present work at the Consortium. Co-authors may include the research advisors, committee members, and other collaborators as needed. Selected abstracts will be published in the conference online proceedings (non-archival). Doctoral students who submit to the Doctoral Consortium are encouraged to submit a paper on their research to the main conference. However, acceptance for participation in the Consortium will be based solely on the abstract written ad hoc for the event. All abstracts will be reviewed with respect to overall quality of presentation, the relevance and potential for future impact of the research on the field, and expected benefit to the Ph.D. student from attending the Doctoral Consortium.
