18th CRIWG Conference on Collaboration and Technology
Doctoral Consortium
September 16th, 2012
Duisburg, Germany
Submission deadline: July 8th, 2012
The CRIWG Doctoral Consortium aims at bringing together PhD students working
on groupware and give them the opportunity to present and discuss their
research in a constructive and international atmosphere. The goals of the
Doctoral Consortium event are:
- To provide fruitful feedback and advice to the selected Ph.D. students on
their research thesis.
- To interact with other PhD students and stimulate an exchange of ideas and
suggestions among participants.
To help achieving this goal the doctoral consortium will be moderated by
experienced researchers from the field. For the CRIWG 2012 Doctoral
Consortium these are:
- Daniel Suthers, University of Hawai'i at Manoa, USA
- Ralf Klamma, RWTH Aachen, Germany
- José A. Pino, Universidad de Chile, Chile
In the morning, the consortium PhD researchers will present and discuss
their dissertation research progress. After lunch, consortium participants
will receive feedback and suggestions regarding their research in
face-to-face meetings with selected faculty members. Participating faculty
will engage in discussions on academic research in GDN and the academic
community in general.
