The Student Advisory Committee of the International SpeechCommunication Association (ISCA-SAC) is pleased to announce its 7thDoctoral Consortium. This event gives doctoral candidates the opportunityto present and discuss their research with a panel of experts. The discussion includes feedback on the evolution and progress of the students, in order to help them identify a road-map towards refining their thesis. All doctoral students from speech-related disciplines are invited to apply! Participants will be selected based on their submitted abstracts.
Similar to last year’s edition, this year, the Doctoral Consortium will be held online just before the beginning of Interspeech 2021.
