Doctoral Consortium

The Doctoral Consortium will take place in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies (WEBIST), to be held in April 23 - 25 in Rome, Italy. The WEBIST 2016 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 Web Information Systems and Technologies is intended to bring together Ph.D. students within the Web 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 Web Information Systems and Technologies;
- Obtain insight into directions for Web 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 Web Information Systems and Technologies, 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.
