September 18, 1:40pm - 5:40pm
Room #2 of Building 8, Beijing Friendship Hotel (see the page of Venue for maps)
On-site registration at the Room #2 from 1:10pm.

The leaderships of IAPR TC-10 (“Graphics Recognition”) and TC-11 (“Reading Systems”) have organized a Doctoral Consortium in conjunction with ICDAR 2011. The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to create an opportunity for Ph.D. students to test their research ideas, present their current progress and future plans, and receive constructive criticism and insights related to their future work and career perspectives. A mentor (a senior researcher who is active in the field) has been assigned to each student to provide individual feedback. In addition, students will have the opportunity to present an overview of their research plan during a special poster session. A Best Poster Presentation Award will be given at the end of the day.

Through an open call for participation which has already concluded, a total of 21 Ph.D. students will be participating in the first-ever ICDAR Doctoral Consortium. Thanks to a generous sponsorship provided by Raytheon BBN Technologies, there is no registration charge for the Ph.D. students who have been selected or their assigned mentors to attend the Doctoral Consortium. The event will take place the day before the main ICDAR conference, on the afternoon of Sunday, Sept. 18. The schedule is as follows:

1:40 pm – 2:10 pm: Welcome and short talk: “Advice for a Successful Ph.D. Experience”
2:10 pm – 3:10 pm: Brief oral introductions to student research plans
3:10 pm – 3:25 pm: Coffee break
3:25 pm – 5:25 pm: Student poster session with discussion and feedback
5:25 pm – 5:40 pm: Concluding remarks and Best Poster Presentation Award presentation

A Doctoral Consortium overview booklet will be made available at the event containing a summary of each student's research activities along with his/her resume.
