The COSIT Doctoral Colloquium is an opportunity for PhD students to present their research in a supportive environment to an international audience of students, researchers and faculty. Students can expect to receive feedback from a panel of leading academics on issues such as how to identify and refine research questions, how to orally present research, and how to publish research, as well as insights into how to successfully complete a PhD in an interdisciplinary field. Furthermore, two professors will present advice on building an academic career.

Typically, presentation topics are related to a PhD student's doctoral dissertation research, but any research topic appropriate for COSIT may be presented, as long as the student is the primary author of the work. Students at any stage of their PhD are encouraged to apply. The Colloquium is an ideal forum for presenting research in the early or planning stages, as well as work that is nearing completion.
