The Doctoral Consortium offers research students a special forum where they can present, discuss and progress their research plans with peers and established senior researchers. Research students wishing to attend the consortium should submit 4 pages, using the ACM SIGCHI two column layout available at http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform, addressing 4 headings: Aims and Background; Significance and Innovation; Methodology; Questions and Issues (that is, identify those areas you seek feedback on). Places at the consortium will be offered based on a review of the submitted proposals. Please send applications by 30 April 2011 to Christine Satchell, Doctoral Consortium Chair: christine.satchell AT qut.edu.au VOLUNTEERS C&T actively encourages students to volunteer at the conference. Being a student volunteer is a great way to support the research community, meet other students in the field, and attend an international ACM conference. You will help the conference organisers with the running of the conference and support the setting-up of presentations and workshops. You will see the latest in C&T research and development, and have fun while learning about running the conference. In return, you will get free registration. To apply, email us your contact details (email, phone, university), an abstract of your research project, a CV, and the reasons why you would like to be a student volunteer. Please send applications by 30 April 2011 to Ronald Schroeter, Volunteers Chair: r.schroeter AT qut.edu.au http://ct2011.urbaninformatics.net/ #comtech2011 http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=125376820833369 http://lanyrd.com/2011/ct2011/ -- Assoc.
