Doctoral Consortium

The goal of Doctoral Consortium track is to provide an engaging and friendly environment, in the form of a forum, for students to present their work and receive constructive feedback from other researchers in the field of HCI. We welcome students at various stages of their research, i.e., early doctoral students, to submit and present their work, discussing their research motivation, goals, methods, results, expected novelty and impact at an early stage in their research. It is a unique opportunity on one hand for self-development, by exchanging with other peers and distinguished researchers in their field embracing the importance of innovation and scientific value, and on the other hand for building an effective network with other researchers in the HCI community.

In addition, CHIGreece 2023 track provides students a mentorship channel, offering an opportunity to explore and develop their research interests under the guidance of senior researchers relevant to their research field.

Accepted papers will be available via the ACM Digital Library.

Guidelines for the accepted submissions and presentation

More specific information for the camera-ready content and publication is available at the Information for Authors area. 

At this stage, students are asked to prepare/ structure their submission by adhering to the guidelines below:

  • Research Title
  • Name of the Doctoral Researcher and affiliation, and name and affiliation of their supervisor
  • A small paragraph describing their background, research programme, stage of research, etc.
  • The problem being addressed
  • Motivation outlining the relevance of the problem and referring to related (state of the art) work
  • The main research objectives/ contributions in the related research field
  • Reference to potential innovation, application and advancement of the related state-of-the-art
  • Outline of the proposed methodological approach that will help to achieve the aforementioned research objectives
  • Reference to implementation approach, setting and technologies
  • Reference to experimentational design, evaluation criteria, sample and data to be used (or preliminary results)
  • Indicate expected impact and added value 
  • The progress made to date as well as the plan for further research and open questions for discussion

During the days of the conference the authors will have the chance to present their work in a dedicated poster session, give a 3’ minutes pitch to attract the attention of the audience, and be assigned to a mentor - senior research scientist, to deep dive on their topic.

Find below the guidelines for the preparation of the pitch presentation (.MP4) and the poster (.PDF) – they will be both available for publication on the Conference’s Web-site. All material will be uploaded from the dedicated Authors Area. 

Three-minutes Video-pitch Presentation 

The deadline for the video-pitch is on *** Friday, 08 September 2023 ***. Submit the video-pitch by uploading it to the Authors Area, and by sending a dedicated message to Doctoral Consortium Co-Chairs.

Find below some proposed guidelines for the preparation of the video-pitch:

  • Make sure that you prepare your presentation respecting the allocated time given, i.e., THREE-MINUTES
  • To maintain a unified format, videos may be prepared using the instructions from the ACM (useful info here: https://medium.com/sigchi/a-remote-video-presentation-guide-93957c63aa7a), adhering to the following properties:
    • 16×9 aspect ratio
    • MP4/MP4V format
    • The Video Codec is H.264 and the Audio Codec is AAC+ or AAC. MPEG4 PART 10 or AVC
    • Use a Picture-in-Picture capable video mixer to display both presenter and slide content (e.g., the free version of Zoom offers this capability)
  • You may also accompany your videos with subtitles / captions to meet accessibility standards
    • Subtitles must be in the form of a separate SRT format file submitted with your video file in the Author Area: https://chigreece.gr/2023/attend/profile/ 
    • SRT files can be created in YouTube, but must be manually edited. YouTube text-to-speech will miss most technical terminology with unpredictable results.

Poster (PNG or JPEG) Requirements

Authors selected for the Doctoral Consortium track are asked to prepare their ONE-PAGE poster (.PNG or .JPEG) for publication on CHIGreece 2023 Web-site and presentation, so to receive feedback for future directions, by adhering to the guidelines below. Each poster should describe/ structure research as follows:

  • Research Title
  • Name of the Young Researchers and affiliation + name of the supervisor and affiliation, and a small paragraph describing their background, research programme, stage of research, etc.
  • The research objectives and question(s) being addressed
  • Motivation outlining the relevance of the research question(s)  and referring to related (state of the art) work
  • The main research objectives/ contributions in the related research field
  • Reference to potential innovation, application and advancement of the related state-of-the-art
  • Outline of the proposed methodological approach that will help to achieve the aforementioned research objectives
  • Reference to implementation approach, setting and technologies
  • Reference to experimentational design, evaluation criteria, sample and data to be used (or preliminary results)
  • Indication of the  expected impact and added value 
  • The progress made to date as well as the plan for further research and open questions for discussion

While we don’t have a specific template, there are a number of companies that offer free templates to assist you in creating your Poster (PNG or JPEG). The A0 poster size formatted vertically is the most popular based on the usual, physical dimensions for the CHIGreece 2023 Conference.

Online Resources:

All registrants will be able to access: your Poster (.PNG or .JPEG), and your video in a dedicated page on CHIGreece 2023 Web-site.
