Overview
The ICCV Doctoral Consortium will provide a unique opportunity to students who are close to finishing, or who have very recently finished, their doctorate degree, to interact with renowned and experienced researchers in the field, and discuss with them their ongoing research and career plans. One senior member of the community will be assigned as a mentor for each student based on similarity of research interests. At the meeting, each student will discuss their research and future plans with their mentor and other participants.
Selected Student Participants and MentorsEligibility
All Ph.D. students in computer vision who will graduate within the next 6-8 months, as well as those who have graduated in the past 6 months are eligible.
Submission GuidelinesEligible students who would like to participate in the Doctoral Consortium should submit an application via CMT at DCICCV15/. The application is due on October 5 (9PM Pacific Time), and should include the following information:
- Is your university/college/department a US institution? (yes/no)
- Expected graduation date

All information is required. Incomplete applications will be rejected. Page limit on research statement is strict.
If all applications cannot be supported, selection will be based on the above material and the student's graduation date. Institutional representation will be taken into account; it is unlikely that more than two students from the same institution will be invited.
