Call Deadline: 17-May-2015 

Meeting Description:

The Doctoral Consortium at EUROLAN-2015 will provide a good opportunity for graduate students (PhD and MSc heading towards PhD studies) investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing towards Linguistic Open Data and, more generally, the Semantic Web to present their current work and receive constructive feedback and guidance on future research, both from the general audience and the invited lecturers at the Summer School. The opinions expressed freely and in a friendly atmosphere will help presenters to correct modeling errors or misconceptions in early phases of their PhD research, to exercise their final defending in the front of an international panel of experts, to enhance the evaluation and comparison of their results with the state of the art, to find new ideas for continuing their investigations, to enhance presentation skills, and, not the least, as often has been the case in former meetings of this kind, to establish future collaborat
 ion coalitions.

The main outcomes for a participant at the Doctoral Consortium are:

- Bright & new research ideas and guidance from top researchers
- Participation in a supportive community, networking with other scholars from the same and/or different research areas, at various stages of their research and activity
- During the EUROLAN week/s: enjoy a camaraderie atmosphere through common activities and social events, as well as an excursion on July 18

The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a workshop during 3 or 4 consecutive evenings (1.5 hour slots) in the first week of the EUROLAN 2015 Summer School, between July 14 and July 17.
