Background and Scope

The UMAP 2022 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place as part of the
30th International
Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization.



Doctoral students are invited to apply to present their research to
experienced scholars who will provide constructive feedback and advice.
Students should consider participating in the DC if they are at least
fifteen months away from completing their dissertation at the time of the
event, but after having settled on a research area or dissertation topic.

This forum will provide Ph.D. students an opportunity to:



   -

   Present and discuss their research ideas to experienced scholars in a
   supportive, formative, and yet critical environment;
   -

   Explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of
   distinguished researchers and industry practitioners from the field who
   will provide constructive feedback and advice;
   -

   Explore career pathways available after completing their Ph.D. degree,
   and finally
   -

   Network and build collaborations with other members of the community.



Students are asked to submit a brief proposal outlining their doctoral
research (see detailed requirements below), which will be evaluated by the
consortium committee. Good quality applications will be selected for
presentation at a DC Session as part of the conference. Each student with
an accepted submission will be assigned a mentor who will provide feedback
on the student’s work and will discuss the doctoral research with the
student and the audience at the consortium.

A Brief Review of The General Guidelines for a Doctoral Consortium Paper

Candidates must submit their DC proposals –aligning with topics pertaining
to the ACM UMAP 2022 key areas– by the submission deadline. Each proposal
should be a single PDF, with four required components: a six-page
description of your Ph.D., an expected benefits statement, a recommendation
letter, and a two-page curriculum vitae. If you are unable to obtain a
letter of recommendation from your dissertation advisor, please include a
short explanation. For more details please refer to the website:
https://www.um.org/umap2022/call-for-doctoral-consortium-papers/

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financial Support

ACM UMAP has a history of supporting students who want to attend the
conference. Students of accepted DC proposals will have higher priority for
UMAP grant applications.
