Doctoral Consortium

The Doctoral Consortium will take place in conjunction with the International Conference on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management, (GISTAM). The GISTAM doctoral consortium will provide an opportunity for graduate students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field. 

The Doctoral Consortium on Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management is intended to bring together Ph.D. students within the geographic information systems and technologies field to discuss their research in an international forum. More precisely, the Doctoral Consortium will provide students with an opportunity to:
- Present their research work in a relaxed and supportive environment;
- Receive feedback and suggestions from peers and experienced faculty members;
- Gain an overview of the breadth and depth of Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management;
- Obtain insight into directions for geographic information systems and technologies research taken by other doctoral candidates;
- Discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and other issues;
- Network with peers and future colleagues

Thus, the symposium will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at Geographical Information Systems Theory, Applications and Management, will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in this emerging interdisciplinary area, and will expose these promising young researchers to the larger global community.
