Call for Participation
The Graduate Student
Symposium (GSS) provides a forum in which students have a unique
opportunity to meet and discuss their work with each other and a panel
of experienced researchers and practitioners. The forum provides an
informal and interactive setting for acquiring feedback on current
research and creative explorations and to receive guidance on future
directions. Applications may address any of the topics, approaches, and
disciplines related to creativity and cognition (see the main call for
papers). The GSS will be held on the 26th of June, which is the day
after the main conference ends.
We welcome applications from
graduate students in degree programs (i.e. doctoral programs in
research fields and master programs in the arts and design) in any of
the disciplines and approaches concerned with creativity and cognition.
Applicants should have an established direction of research relevant to
the conference, but whose research would benefit from guidance provided
by peers and senior colleagues at the Graduate Student Symposium. Each
application should include:
* A two-page written paper (it must be in the SIGCHI format)
* A brief letter of support from the student’s principal
adviser
* A brief biographical sketch (2-3 paragraphs) together with
a list of any relevant publications
The two page paper should
describe ongoing work and summarize the student’s thesis or highlight a
particular aspect. The paper must be first-authored by the student.
Advisors’ or supervisors’ letters of support should indicate that the
work has reached the appropriate level of maturity for presentation in
this venue. The letter of support and biographical sketch should be
submitted together with the paper on the conference submission site.
Please note that submissions to the GSS, unlike submissions to the other
venues, is not anonymous. For templates, please see the conference
website under Submission.
Participants will be
selected based on their anticipated contributions to the breadth and
depth of the intellectual discussions of the symposium. Selected
students will be expected to give a short presentation of their work,
followed by discussion with the panel and the other student
participants.
In addition, each student is
encouraged to submit a poster describing his or her work. The poster
would be submitted to the Poster track and reviewed independent of the
GSS. An appropriate approach would be to extend the two page GSS
submission into a four page poster submission. Authors may not submit
an identical version of the GSS submission to the Poster track. If an
author does submit a poster in parallel, please notify the chairs of the
GSS.
Financial support may be
available for graduate students to attend the GSS and conference. Please
contact the Chair of the GSS for updated information about financial
support.
All submissions will be handled through the Creativity and
Cognition Precision Conference web site. Use the two-column ACPDF. The total size of all submitted materials, including video, should
not exceed 100 Mb. The CHI and UIST guides to producing good video
figures are useful.
