XR doctoral students have their say
The Doctoral Consortium is an opportunity for PhD students to gain critical feedback on their work, share their discoveries, develop their networks of contacts, enhance their skills and perfect their career plans through meetings with companies and research laboratories.
On the agenda: oral and poster presentations showcasing the current research of young scholars enrolled in a PhD program or who have defended their thesis less than a year ago.
Applications are open until January 30.

How to register for the Doctoral Consortium?
For students
For PhD students or recent graduates (less than one year), a “Student Pass” plus the “Sessions” option is required (the same rate applies whether or not you present a poster or a talk).
For professionals
For supervisors, exhibitors, and visitors wishing to attend the Doctoriales, a “Discovery Pass” with the “Sessions” option or a Laval Virtual “Full Pass” is required.
