Doctoral Consortium

The CHI 99 Doctoral Consortium is a closed session that provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop with a group of established researchers. Participants receive feedback on their work and guidance for its future directions. The Consortium aims to develop a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research. Consortium participants, who represent a wide range of disciplines within HCI, have been invited on the basis of submissions about their research projects.

Senior CHI Development Consortium

The CHI 99 Development Consortium is called Senior CHI. Its goal is to build bridges between the CHI community and other groups of professionals who share an interest in older users. During the Consortium, an interdisciplinary group of participants representing a wide variety of approaches to gerontechnology will develop a research agenda for HCI and older users. The International Society for Gerontechnology is a cooperating society for the Consortium. Participants have been invited on the basis of position papers submitted to the Consortium's organizers.
