The UbiComp Organizing Committee is excited to announce the UbiComp 2014 Doctoral School, which extends previous UbiComp conferences’ successful Doctoral Colloquium event to offer a more in-depth and comprehensive experience to PhD students at different stages in their PhD research. The Doctoral School (DS) will provide a friendly, supportive, and constructive forum in which PhD students can learn about UbiComp research and methods from internationally recognized leaders in the community and present their research-in-progress to get feedback from peers and experts in the field. The DS offers PhD students the valuable opportunity to engage in in-depth discussion on their work and gain exposure to a variety of perspectives that can help to strengthen and shape their work as they progress towards their degrees. UbiComp’s cooperation with ISWC extends to the DS as well. Students from the Ubicomp and ISWC doctoral schools will do a joint "madness" session at the beginning, a joint careers panel at the end, and will be free to attend sessions from the other DS during the course of the day.
