What is a Doctoral Consortium?
----------------------------------------
A doctoral consortium is a one-day event where you explore your PhD topic, the practical problems of doing your research and you share your experiences in a critical but supportive context. This event will enable you to network with peers and established experts within the field of HCI while building confidence and motivating you to do even better with your research. Crucially a DC provides students with a valuable opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their work and ideas.
Travel Bursaries
----------------------
The BCS will fund a small number of bursaries of up to £100 per candidate to cover travel and accommodation for this event. If you wish to apply for a bursary please submit an additional document (max 750 words) with your application that explains why you need a bursary and what you hope to gain from attending the DC.
