Doctoral Consortium

The Doctoral Consortium was a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over the world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work (i.e., the consortium is not intended for those who are finished or nearly finished with their dissertation). The goal of the Doctoral Consortium was to help students with their thesis and research plans by providing feedback and general advice on using the research environment in a constructive and international atmosphere.
