Doctoral Consortium
The Aarhus 2025 Doctoral Consortium provides current doctoral candidates with unique opportunities to engage in exchanges about doctoral research relevant to the conference with researchers and peers in a stimulating, open, and safe environment. We expect that participants will come from a variety of disciplines and thus that this will be an interdisciplinary environment as well.
As part of submissions to the Doctoral Consortium, we invite you to consider the conference title, “computing (x) crisis”, and how this relates your research to alternatives to current directions in computing, for instance via methodological or theoretical developments, or present new forms of critical or societal engagements and action. With the (X) we invite authors to speculate on potential replacements of the universal X – with, after, in, etc – and on what it means to combine the two words.
The doctoral consortium will take place on-site at Aarhus University, Denmark.
Who can participate?
You must be enrolled in a conference relevant discipline as a doctoral candidate at the time of submitting your application and at the time of the conference. You will get most value from attending if you have a clear direction for your thesis but have not yet finished your research. However, people at other stages may be considered. We are expecting to accept 10-12 candidates.
Preparing and Submitting
Submissions must be done through the Precision Conference submission system (PCS). You will submit 2 pdfs in a format of your own choice.
PDF 1: PhD Abstract
Submit a description of your PhD project, max of 4 pages excl references.
PDF 2: Supporting Materials
The supporting document should include the following:
- provides new perspectives
- A list of three key readings, with a brief description of how they have influenced your PhD (max 1 page).
- A brief statement of where you are in your PhD process (max 200 words).
After acceptance, we will also ask you to submit:
- A brief response to the material of 1-2 other participants. This could be in the form of three comments and two questions.
Review Process
Submissions will be reviewed by the Doctoral Consortium Chairs. Participation in the Doctoral Consortium will be limited to candidates who have been accepted into the Consortium.
Registration
If you are accepted to the Doctoral Consortium, we will send you registration instructions. Participation in the Doctoral Consortium is free of charge to the invited participants. Please note, that if you are presenting and/or participating in any other part of the conference, you will need to pay the student conference registration fee.
