<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">The goal of the ICMI Doctoral Consortium (DC) is to provide PhD students with an opportunity to present their work to a group of mentors and peers from a diverse set of academic and industrial
institutions, to receive feedback on their doctoral research plan and progress, and to build a cohort of young researchers interested in designing and developing multimodal interfaces and interaction. We invite students from all PhD granting institutions who
are in the process of forming or carrying out a plan for their PhD research in the area of designing and developing multimodal interfaces.</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">While we encourage applications from students at any stage of doctoral training, the doctoral consortium will benefit most the students who are in the process of forming or developing their
doctoral research. These students will have passed their qualifiers or have completed the majority of their coursework, will be planning or developing their dissertation research, and will not be very close to completing their dissertation research. Students
from any PhD granting institution whose research falls within designing and developing multimodal interfaces and interaction are encouraged to apply.</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

to get feedback on research directions, it is also an opportunity to learn more about the process and to understand what comes next. We aim to connect you with a mentor who will give specific feedback on your research. We specifically aim to create an informal
setting where students feel supported in their professional development.</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

of the consortium for the student's PhD research, and (3) the student's contribution to the diversity of topics, backgrounds, and institutions, in order of importance. More particularly, the quality of the submission will be evaluated based on the potential
contributions of the research to the field of multimodal interfaces and its impact on the field and beyond. Finally, we hope to achieve a diversity of research topics, disciplinary backgrounds, methodological approaches, and home institutions in this year's
Doctoral Consortium cohort. We do not expect more than two students to be invited from each institution to represent a diverse sample. Women and other underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.</span></p>
