Call for Applications: Doctoral Consortium at Interspeech 2015

Prospective and current doctoral students from all speech-related disciplines are invited to apply for admission to the Doctoral Consortium to be held at Interspeech 2015 in Dresden, Germany. The doctoral consortium is aimed at providing students working on speech-related topics with an opportunity to discuss their doctoral research with experts from their fields, and to receive feedback from experts and peers on their PhD projects. The format of the Doctoral Consortium will be a one-day workshop prior to the main conference (6th September). It will involve short presentations by participants summarizing their projects, followed by an intensive discussion of these presentations. The Doctoral Consortium is a new format at Interspeech, and is held this year in exchange for the ?Students Meet Experts? lunch event that was held at previous Interspeech Conferences. It is organized by the Student Advisory Committee of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA-SAC).

How to apply:
Students who are interested in participating are asked to submit an extended abstract of their thesis plan, between 2-4 pages according to Interspeech template format, to: doctoral.workshop@interspeech2015.org

Who should apply:
While we encourage applications from students at any stage of doctoral training, the doctoral consortium will benefit most those students who are in the middle of their PhD, i.e. those who have already received some initial results but would still benefit from feedback.

Important dates:
? Application deadline: June 20th, 2015
? Notification of acceptance: July 20th, 2015
? Date of the Doctoral Consortium: Sunday 6th September 2015
