Doctoral Consortium

The Doctoral Consortium will be held on June 7, 2015.

The Doctoral Consortium brings together junior and experienced researchers in planning, scheduling and related areas from across the globe. It provides a forum for networking with the ICAPS community (including mentoring, career guidance, and research skill advice) in an informal, social setting.

The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a full day workshop on June 7th, 2015. The program includes, in a session open to all ICAPS participants, small discussion groups on different technical topics (led by mentors), invited talks on research skill and career development, and a poster session during the main conference.
