for the Doctoral Consortium program.

Important Dates

- Applications deadline: 04 August 2024 (Sunday).

Aims and Scope

The Doctoral Consortium (DC) is a student mentoring
 program bringing together PhD students and
 senior researchers from the area of KR. 

The aims of the consortium are:

- to provide a forum for students to present their
 current research and receive feedback from other students and senior researchers;
- to promote contacts among PhD students working in similar areas;
- to support students with information and 
advice on academic research, and industrial careers.

The DC is intended for PhD students who have 
a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, 
but who have sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation 
to benefit from the consortium experience.
Preference will be given to students satisfying these criteria, 
but we also encourage students to apply
 who are at an earlier or more advanced stage of the completion of their thesis.

Accepted students will participate in several dedicated DC events, 
which will likely consist of a lightning talk session and 
a poster and mentoring session
 (the precise format of the DC will be finalized closer to the conference). 
Each student will be given ample time to present 
their work and therefore be able to fully benefit from
 direct feedback from the assigned senior researcher mentor and
 the wider KR conference audience.

Application Submission

Applications must be submitted through the CMT conference system:

cmt3.research.microsoft.com/KR2024 (www.kr.org/KR2024/)

Each application must contain the following elements combined into a
single PDF document:

1. Thesis summary. 
A description of the problem being addressed, your motivation
 for addressing the problem, proposed plan of research, 
the progress to date
 (what you have already achieved and what remains to be done), 
and related work. The maximum number of pages is four 
(bibliography included) and the same style 
as for KR paper submissions should be used 
(see www.kr.org/KR2024/ (www.kr.org/KR2024/) )

2. Curriculum Vitae. 
A description of your background and
 relevant experience (research, education, employment), max imum two pages.

3. Brief letter of recommendation.
 A brief letter from your thesis advisor that 
states that they support your participation in the DC.

4. Optionally, a suggestion of some potential mentors 
with similar research interests, 
who could give good advice on technical aspects related 
to the work, and/or career opportunities. 
For inspiration who to name, you can refer to program committee members of previous KR conferences.

The selection process will consider the quality 
of the submitted proposal and the stage of the student's PhD project. 
Proposals of the selected students will not be published,
 so doctoral students who submit to the DC are permitted
 to have previously published their research, 
and are encouraged to submit papers to KR 2024 
and associated conferences and workshops.
