POSTGRADUATE CONSORTIUM 2008
The Consortium provides postgraduate students with an opportunity to
discuss their study with other students and researchers. The CAADRIA
Postgraduate Student Consortium and the Young CAADRIA Award
continues CAADRIA's commitment to support young researchers. The
Consortium will be held within special time slots during the
conference. Students will give a presentation providing an overview
of theirwork and results to date. Student participants will have
their abstracts published in a special CAADRIA Postgraduate Student
Consortium Proceedings and a Poster of their work exhibited at the
main conference.
Aims
1. Provide a supportive setting for feedback on students'
current research and guidance on future research directions.
2. Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on
their work from faculty and students outside their own institution.
3. Promote the development of a supportive community of
scholars and a spirit of collaborative research.
4. Contribute to the conference goals through interaction
with other researchers and conference events.
5. To network with colleagues of similar background or
interests.
