Home

 

AAMAS 2006 will include a doctoral mentoring program, intended for PhD students in advanced stages of their research. This program will provide an opportunity for students to interact closely with established researchers in their fields, to receive feedback on their work and to get advice on managing their careers.

Specifically, the goals of the program are:

· To match each student with an establish researcher in the community (who will act as a mentor). The mentor will interact closely with the student, will provide feedback on research, help form new contacts, etc.

· To allow students an opportunity to present their work to a friendly audience of other students as well as mentors.

· To provide students with contacts and professional networking opportunities.

The doctoral mentoring program will consist of opportunities for interactions between mentors and their mentorees prior to the conference, as well as a one day doctoral symposium including a mentoring lunch.
