The STMet 2023 organizes a doctoral consortium as a part of the conference. The ongoing research by research students can be submitted in the form of a brief presentation. A panel of senior domain experts will look at the presentation and summarize it. If the presentation is a fully pledged paper, then it will qualify for the proceedings.

The proposal and submission for the Doctoral Consortium is through email to stm@socio.org.uk

This consortium offers an opportunity for doctoral students to establish connections and collaborations with experienced researchers in the field while gaining insights into potential career paths in both academia and industry.

The STMet 23 Doctoral Consortium (DC) will take place during the conference as a parallel event to special sessions on the first day of the conference.

An informal introduction by senior researchers acting as mentors will open the DC. Afterwards, student participants will briefly present their research during a spotlight oral session. This will be followed by a mentoring session, providing students with constructive feedback and more focused discussions with senior researchers. Additionally, each student will be assigned a mentor from the committee, with whom they can interact to explore specific areas of interest throughout the event. An informal lunch with senior researchers will also be organized, enabling students to engage in interactive conversations. DC participants will also be able to participate in a poster session during the main conference (specific details to be determined).
