CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
The 16th Annual ICCBR Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place as part of ICCBR 2024 in Merida, Mexico. It is designed to nurture Ph.D. candidates by providing opportunities to explore and obtain mutual feedback on their research, future work plans, and career objectives with senior CBR researchers, practitioners, and peers. We invite submissions from students, as described below. Selected students will be asked to prepare and present an oral presentation at the DC. We also plan for invited talks or panels from senior CBR researchers or practitioners. Additional social activities will be arranged to encourage further conversations with mentors and fellow students.
We are pleased to announce a new participation option for this year’s DC: Thesis Pitch Presentation. The pitch program enables students to present brief oral pitches of their research work to the DC audience and participate in DC discussions and presentations, with a streamlined application process. Beginning students may apply to participate in DC discussions only, without presenting a pitch.
We invite submissions from students, as described below. In addition to student talks, we plan for invited talks or panels from senior CBR researchers or practitioners. Additional social activities will be arranged to encourage further conversations with mentors and fellow students and develop a CBR doctoral student cohort. Partial funding support may be available to help defray some conference expenses.
We welcome applications from students worldwide. To apply, please fill out the following form providing us with information about your PhD progress: https://forms.gle/BWGAuRw11TKqE6i37

We encourage participation from all Ph.D. students, whether at the start or toward the end of their Ph.D. candidacy. Participants need to indicate their stage of Ph.D. research clearly. Those at the early to midpoint stage of their candidacy and who have not yet received substantial feedback from the greater research community will be paired with a mentor who will advise them on their research trajectory, writing, and presentation. Those at a later stage in their research will have an opportunity to present their Ph.D. work to a group of senior CBR researchers for feedback and advice. We will hold a workshop for potential participants explaining how to prepare the submission material and answer questions about the DC on Mar 5, 2024 in a 1-hour virtual meeting (4pm CET / 3pm UK / 10 am EST).
