<span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">The IUI 2020 Student Consortium is intended to provide an opportunity for Doctoral and advanced Masters students to present and receive feedback about their research in an interdisciplinary workshop, under
the guidance of a panel of mentors selected from senior researchers in the field. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their research to use this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation.
The consortium will be organized with 8 to 12 student presentations selected by the Student Consortium chairs and potentially other reviewers. The strongest candidates will be those who have a clear topic and research approach, and have made some progress,
but who are not so far along in their research so that they can still update their research topics or methods. The final version of accepted SC submissions will be included in the main conference proceedings published in the ACM DL.</span></p>

<span class="" style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Complimentary/reduced conference registration will be available for students. Student Consortium participants will also be given high priority when applying for the student travel awards. Moreover, we are working
to provide partial reimbursement of travel/accommodation expenses specifically for the participants of the Student Consortium. </span></p>
