Students are invited to apply for admission to the doctoral consortium
to be held at the IJCAI conference, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 25 July-1

The doctoral consortium provides an opportunity for Ph.D. students to
discuss their research interests and career objectives with
established researchers in AI, network with other participants, and
receive mentoring about career planning and career options. The
doctoral consortium will expose students to different areas of
research within AI and help building professional connections within
the international community of AI researchers.

doctoral consortium. Accepted extended abstracts will be published in
the IJCAI Proceedings.
