These students will have passed their qualifiers or have completed the majority of their coursework, will be planning or developing their dissertation research, and will not be very close to completing their dissertation research. Students from any PhD granting institution whose research falls within designing and developing multimodal interfaces and interaction are encouraged to apply.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Who should attend?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The DC provides an opportunity to build a social network that includes a cohort of DC students, senior students, recent graduates, and senior mentors. Not only is this an opportunity to get feedback on research directions, but also it is an opportunity to learn more about the process and to understand what comes next. We aim to connect you with a mentor who will give specific feedback on your research. We specifically aim to create an informal setting where students feel supported in their professional development.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Submission Guidelines<br \/><\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Graduate students pursuing a PhD degree in a field related to ICMI are eligible to apply for the Doctoral Consortium (DC) and should submit the following materials:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Extended Abstract:<\/b>A description of the PhD research plan and progress.

We also encourage students to explore the SIGCHI Gary Marsden Travel Awards, which are administered directly by SIGCHI. Applications for this support must be submitted individually. Deadlines that align with ICMI\u2019s Doctoral Consortium are typically in July and September.
