20th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2021)
Virtual, October 24-28, 2021
https://iswc2021.semanticweb.org
The ISWC 2021 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place virtually as part of
the 20th International Semantic Web Conference. This forum will provide PhD
students an opportunity to:
● present and discuss their research ideas in a supportive, formative
and yet critical environment;
● receive feedback from mentors, typically senior members of the
Semantic Web research community, and peers;
● explore career pathways available after completing their PhD degree,
and finally
● network and build collaborations with other members of the community.
The event is intended for students who are midway through their PhD,
therefore at a stage where they have articulated a reasonably detailed
research proposal, preferably supported by some preliminary results. The
aim is to support the students in refining their proposal and suggest
possible ways to improve their research plan and achieve results with
prospective greater impact. While doctoral degrees can vary in format and
conduct, we aim this Call for Papers to PhD candidates in their second, or
early in their third year and who will have already partially investigated
some specific problems. Students will be required to submit a paper to the
doctoral consortium, structured like a research proposal. All proposals
submitted to the Doctoral Consortium will undergo a rigorous review process
by the International Programme Committee, who will provide detailed and
constructive feedback and select those submissions to be presented at the
Doctoral Consortium. If accepted, students will have to register and attend
the event, which will include a range of interactive activities.
