ISCA-SAC: 6th Doctoral Consortium
The Student Advisory Committee of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA-SAC) is pleased to announce the 6th Doctoral Consortium. This event gives doctoral candidates the opportunity to present and discuss their research with a panel of experts. The discussion includes feedback on the evolution and progress of their research. It helps them to identify a road-map toward refining their thesis. Doctoral students from speech-related disciplines participating in Interspeech 2020 are invited to apply! Participants will be selected based on their submitted abstracts.
This year, the Doctoral Consortium (DC) will either take place physically, as an all-day virtual event just before Interspeech 2020, as shorter online sessions around the same time.

- Abstracts may be extended to a maximum of two pages including all text, figures and tables, plus an additional page for references.
