<font face='Monaco'>*** Call for Doctoral Consortium Submissions ***<br><br>EC-TEL 2013: Eighth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning<br><br>"Scaling Up Learning for Sustained Impact"<br><br>17-21 September 2013, Paphos, Cyprus<br><br><a href="http://ec-tel.eu/">http://ec-tel.eu/</a><br><br><br>The EC-TEL Doctoral Consortium brings together Ph.D. students working on topics<br>related to Technology Enhanced Learning. The doctoral consortium will offer<br>Ph.D. students the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on<br>their research in an interdisciplinary and international atmosphere. Prominent<br>professors and researchers in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning will<br>provide feedback to the selected papers and participate actively and contribute<br>to the discussions. The Doctoral Consortium will take place immediately before<br>the EC-TEL 2013 conference.<br><br>The intention of this doctoral consortium is to support and inspire Ph.D.<br>students during their ongoing research efforts. Therefore, it is necessary that<br>authors will have neither achieved their Ph.D. degree nor officially submitted<br>their thesis before the doctoral consortium (September 2013). To enforce this<br>rule we require authors to disclose their expected graduation date and their<br>advisor's name when submitting.<br><br><br>DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM ELIGIBILITY AND APPLICATION PROCESS<br><br>In contrast to regular conference papers, submissions should address<br>specifically doctoral work.
