Eurographics Doctoral Consortium is a networking event that
provides PhD students, working in all areas of computer
graphics, with an excellent opportunity to present their work
and interact with distinguished and experienced researchers in
the field, receiving feedback and mentoring, as well as a
different perspective from senior researchers outside their
home institution. In addition, the Doctoral Consortium
provides a unique forum for PhD students to share their work
and experience among their fellow PhD students. The Doctoral
Consortium will take place within the Eurographics’2021
conference, to be held in Vienna, May 3-7, 2021.

<h4>Who should apply?</h4>
<p>PhD students working in all areas of computer
graphics are encouraged to apply. We particularly
encourage applications from students who are in the
first half of their PhD work, especially those who
already have a clear research direction (possibly with
some published results), as they have sufficient time
ahead to profit from their participation in the
Doctoral Consortium. Students who are close to
finishing their doctorate degree, or have very
recently finished it, are also welcome, to share their
experience and to discuss their ongoing research and
future research plans.</p>
<p>The applicants are strongly encouraged to consider
submitting a poster of their work to the poster track
in parallel.</p>

<h4>Submission guidelines</h4>
<p><strong>Submission website:</strong> <a
href="https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021DC"
target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eurographics
Submission and Review Management (SRM)</a> system.</p>
<p><strong>Template:</strong> Format should be in
accordance with Eurographics Author’s <a
href="https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021DC/Instruction"
target="_blank" rel="noopener">guidelines</a>.</p>
<p>Eligible Doctoral Consortium students who would like
to participate in the Doctoral Consortium should
submit the following documents <strong>as a single
PDF file</strong>:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Research Statement:</strong> A 3-4 pages
extended abstract summarizing their dissertation
research, singly authored by themself. <strong>The
submissions should NOT be anonymous.</strong> The
use of figures is encouraged. This document should
include:</p>
<ul>
<li>university doctoral program context in which the
work is being conducted, including starting date and
expected graduation date;</li>
<li>motivation that drives the dissertation research;</li>
<li>research objectives/questions;</li>
<li>background and related work that informs the
author’s research;</li>
<li>research approach, methodology and proposed
experiments (where appropriate);</li>
<li>dissertation status and a description of the
remaining work;</li>
<li>current and expected contributions.</li>
</ul>
<p>The research statement should transcend the scope of
a single publication or project, and instead focus on
the general research theme or agenda for the student’s
PhD thesis.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Supervisor’s letter of support:</strong>
A one-page signed letter from the PhD student’s
supervisor, supporting her/his participation in the
Doctoral Consortium, and providing the following
information:</p>
<ul>
<li>the student’s status with respect to the
institution’s PhD requirements;</li>
<li>the expected date of thesis/dissertation defense
or graduation;</li>
<li>why attendance at this Doctoral Consortium would
be particularly beneficial to the student;</li>
<li>what contributions the student is likely to make
to the event if invited to attend.</li>
</ul>
<p>3. <strong>Curriculum vitae:</strong> A 1-2 pages CV
plus the list of all publications.</p>
<p>All three documents must be written in English.</p>
<h4>Review Process</h4>
<p>The review process is single-blinded. The review and
decision of acceptance will take into account: (1)
Quality of the submission (potential contribution and
impact of the research to the field of computer
graphics) and the author’s stage of doctoral research;
(2) the benefits of the consortium for the author’s
PhD research; (3) the author’s contribution to the
diversity of topics, backgrounds and profiles that
will integrate the Consortium.</p>
<h4>Participation</h4>
<p>All authors of accepted submissions are expected to
attend the Doctoral Consortium, where they will
present their work to a panel of experts, selected by
the Doctoral Consortium co-chairs to match at best the
topics related to the accepted submissions.</p>
<p>For this, the authors will prepare a 10 minute long
pre-recorded video to present their work. The
panelists will then interact with the presenter to
discuss their approach and provide constructive advice
and suggestions. Social events will be conducted to
engage panelists and all presenters to initialize a
friendly environment in the community.</p>
