NEW this year: Doctoral Seminar

The Doctoral Seminar will provide the opportunity for doctoral students working in areas relevant to GI to present and discuss their research in an informal setting. Each accepted doctoral student will give a short presentation to other doctoral symposium participants and a panel of experts in the field. Ample time will be provided for interactive discussions of the work and future directions. Preference will be given to students who already have a dissertation proposal. Submission will be in the form of a two page extended abstract, to be evaluated based on originality, quality of research, and potential impact on topics associated with GI. Doctoral Seminar submissions are accepted in pdf format emailed to GI2009DrSymposium@gmail.com by February 28, 2009 5PM PST.
