Giving XR PhD students a voice

The Doctoral Consortium gives PhD students the chance to get critical feedback on their work, share their findings, expand their network, showcase their skills and refine their career plans by meeting companies and research labs.

On the program: oral and poster presentations of current research by young researchers enrolled in a PhD or who defended their thesis less than a year ago.

Applications are open until January 29, 2027.
