Overview

The Doctoral Consortium at ISMAR 2026 is a concentrated event where
students present their research interests, plans, and results to a panel of
researchers in related fields and receive specific and constructive
feedback, including opportunities to meet with mentors one-on-one. Accepted
students will be expected to give in-depth presentations of their research
and will receive valuable comments from mentors. Additionally, they will
also have the opportunity to present a poster or a demo of their work at
the respective sessions. Accepted students will have the option to publish
their two-page extended abstract in the conference proceedings and to be
included in the ISMAR 2026 online program. Abstracts may be archived in the
IEEE Xplore digital library.
