Location: Graz University of Technology, Inffeldgasse 25d, 8010 Graz, Austria
 
The Student Advisory Committee of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA-SAC) is pleased to announce the 5th Doctoral Consortium. This event gives doctoral candidates the opportunity to present and discuss their research with a panel of experts. The discussion includes feedback on the evolution and progress of their research. It helps them to identify a road-map toward refining their thesis. Doctoral students from speech-related disciplines participating in Interspeech 2019 are invited to apply! Participants will be selected based on their submitted abstracts.

The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is an all-day event taking place just before Interspeech 2019 in Graz at the University of Technology. DC is co-located with the Workshop for Young Female Researchers in Speech & Technology (YFRSW).
 
Guidelines for Abstract Submission
 
a) Content
Applicants are to submit an extended two-page abstract, briefing about the research pursued towards their thesis. It may incorporate published and in-progress work. The abstract must highlight the following points:

• motivation of your research
• key issues identified and/or addressed
• discussion of results
• future plans and road map for the thesis
• major contributions of your research

b) Form

• Abstracts may be extended to a maximum of two pages including all text, figures and tables, plus an additional page for references.
• Abstracts have to follow the Interspeech 2019 template provided in the author's kit.
• Abstracts must have the applicant as the sole author. Acknowledgement towards supervisors, supporting agencies, and contributors to the work, can be made in a separate section.

c) Submission

• Submit your abstract in PDF format through LinguistList's EasyAbs: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/DC2019
