CFP: Doctoral Workshop for PHD students at ICIC 2010

Call For Participation: ICIC 2010 Doctoral Workshop

ACM International Conference on Intercultural Collaboration
August 19-20, 2010, Copenhagen, Denmark

The ICIC 2010 Doctoral Workshop is a forum for Ph.D. students doing
research in the area of intercultural collaboration to meet and
discuss their work with each other and an international panel of
experienced researchers. The workshop will be held on Wednesday
August 18, the day before the ICIC 2010 conference begins. For more
details on the conference itself, see
http://langrid.nict.go.jp/icic2010/

Applicants should be Ph.D. students with an already well-established
direction of research relevant to culture and collaboration, and who
would benefit from attendance at the Doctoral Workshop. We welcome
applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches,
including anthropology, cognitive science, computer science,
information science, linguistics, organizational studies, psychology,
sociology, and related fields.

The Workshop committee will select approximately 12-15 participants
who will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their
work during the Workshop, to be followed by extensive group
discussion. Selected participants will receive complimentary
conference registration. Additional support may be available, but
this cannot be guaranteed.

Applicants should submit the following items to
icic2010-doctoral@khn.nict.go.jp by April 15 2010:

(a) An overview of your doctoral research that describes your
research question and methodological approach, work in progress, and
expected contributions. This overview should also include a paragraph
that articulates what you hope to get from attending the ICIC
Doctoral Workshop. This document should be formatted according to
the ACM SIGCHI template and submitted in PDF format. Please see the
SIGCHI author instruction page
(http://www.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform) for more information
and downloadable templates.

(b) A one paragraph biographical sketch

(c) An email letter from your academic advisor/supervisor sent to
icic2010-doctoral@khn.nict.go.jp by April 15, 2010, indicating that
they support your application to the colloquium and that they agree
that your research is at an appropriate stage for participation.

Please email questions to icic2010-doctoral@khn.nict.go.jp.

We look forward to your workshop applications.
