Technical Community Event – Doctoral Colloquium
The aim of this Doctoral Colloquium at InGARSS 2023 is to bring together students at different stages of doctoral research working in the interdisciplinary fields of Geoscience and Remote Sensing. The colloquium is different from regular conference tracks where students present results from a focused research work which forms part of their doctoral work.
Here, we aim to encourage students to bring a bigger perspective of their doctoral research i.e., the importance of their research problem to the community at large, and the contribution of their work to the research community per se. Students can present their ongoing or planned research for discussion and receive detailed and constructive feedback on their research from the panel of distinguished research mentors. We also invite the candidates to present the open challenges they are facing to get helpful feedback and fresh perspective from the expert panels and their own peers.
Although the colloquium is aimed at students at the mid-stage or final stage of research to present their work, we strongly encourage early research students to participate to get a fresh perspective on the doctoral research path. The doctoral colloquium will have talks by leading experts on career paths after the PhD. There will also be an interactive session with the mentors on job search, academic career, postdoctoral challenges, writing research proposals for funding etc.
