SICSA Human Computing Interaction Research Theme Doctoral Consortium will take place on Wednesday 29 June (the day after the SICSA PhD Conference) at the University of Strathclyde.
The SICSA HCI Doctoral Consortium (HCI is the Human Computer Interaction theme formerly known as Multimodal Interaction/ MMI) provides an opportunity for doctoral students in Scotland to explore and develop their research interests in a friendly workshop guided by experienced SICSA researchers.
The Doctoral Consortium will allow you to present your ideas and get feedback from a panel of experienced PhD supervisors and researchers, and the other students attending. This is a great way to get feedback on your work in a friendly and helpful environment before you complete your important thesis.
Eligibility:
All doctoral students in Scottish universities who work in an area covered by SICSA HCI are eligible to apply. We encourage applications from PhD students in all years of study but particularly those in their second or third year. Please note that you must have the support of your supervisor in applying to participate in the doctoral consortium.
