Call for Participation: ICCV15 Doctoral Consortium

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 Mentors

Eligibility

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.
