Doctoral Consortium

The Doctoral Consortium will take place in conjunction with the International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction Research and Applications, CHIRA, to be held October 31 - November 2 in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. The CHIRA 2017 doctoral consortium will provide an opportunity for graduate students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field.

The Doctoral Consortium on Computer-Human Interaction Research and Applications is intended to bring together Ph.D. students within the computer-human interaction field to discuss their research in an international forum. More precisely, the Doctoral Consortium will provide students with an opportunity to:

• Present their own ongoing PhD research work in a relaxed and supportive environment;
• Receive feedback and suggestions from peers and experienced faculty members;
• Gain an overview of the breadth and depth of computer-human interaction research and applications;
• Obtain insight into directions for computer-human interaction research taken by other doctoral candidates;
• Discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and other issues;
• Network with peers and future colleagues

Thus, the symposium will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at human-technology engineering, will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in this interdisciplinary area, and will expose these promising young researchers to the larger global community
