2020 Doctoral Consortium on Computational Sustainability
The CompSust Doctoral Consortium (DC) 2020 focuses on computational methods for balancing environmental, economic, and societal needs for a sustainable future. The main goals of CompSust DC 2020 are to:
- Promote discussion and collaboration among students and researchers,
- Give participants a chance to hear about relevant computational techniques and how they are applied in sustainability applications, and
- Provide students and junior researchers opportunities to present their own work and get feedback.
Through tutorials, panels, discussions, and poster sessions, the program will investigate the major problem domains that impact global sustainability and the fundamental computational methods that support advances in these domains.
Dates: October 17-18, 2020.

Why attend?
Here are some great reasons to attend:
- Hear talks and tutorials from faculty and researchers in computational sustainability.
- Network and meet other students and researchers in computational sustainability.
- Promote your work to other students and researchers, and start collaborating on new work.
- Get feedback on your work in progress.
- Practice presenting your work.
Apply to attend the Doctoral Consortium
Applications should be submitted through Microsoft CMT: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/CompSustDC2020.
Please see the additional instructions on the submission page. In particular, you will be asked to provide:
- A brief cover letter (in plain text) explaining the nature of your research and how your interests relate to computational sustainability,
- A title and abstract for your research, to be presented as a poster and/or talk. (Students may participate without presenting work — write "No Presentation" in the title box — though this will decrease their chance of acceptance.),
- A copy of your CV as PDF,
- Whether you'd be interested in leading a tutorial related to some technical aspect of your work,
