program.</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">* Aims and Scope *</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a student mentoring program bringing together PhD students and senior researchers from the area of KR.
The aims of the consortium
are:</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> - to provide a forum for students to present their current research, and receive feedback from other students and senior researchers;</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> - to promote contacts among PhD students working in similar areas;</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> - to support students with information and advice on academic, research, and industrial careers.</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The DC is intended for PhD students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who have sufficient time prior to completing their
dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. Preference will be given to students satisfying these criteria, but we also encourage students to apply who are at an earlier or more advanced stage of the completion of their thesis.</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Accepted students will participate in several dedicated DC events, which will likely consist of a lightning talk session, a poster session, and a mentoring lunch
(the precise format of the DC will be finalised closer to the conference). Each student will be given ample time to present their work and therefore be able to fully benefit from direct feedback from the assigned senior researcher mentor and the wider KR conference
audience.</span><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
