PGSC open call 2026

[CAADRIA]

Dear CAADRIAns,
 
This is the time of the year again, PGSC!! And this time, in Taiwan!! Every year, PGSC aims to help postgraduate students (masters and PhD) to get more feedback from review panels who are researchers and experts from the CAAD field. This session is separate and distinct from the paper sessions, as the feedback will focus on the research scope, methodology, impact, and expected results rather than the general content. The session is also longer to provide an intensive exchange between the students and the panels. This is an opportunity not to be missed, especially if you are considering entering the academic field, pursuing a PhD, or seeking additional feedback from sources beyond your supervisors.
 
This session is open to all conference participants, even if your paper is not being accepted. Priority will be given to paper authors. If you are an author of a paper OR have paid the registration fee, you can apply for this. In short, these are the eligible conditions:

1) you are still a postgraduate student by the registration date, 

and

2) you are a paper author and registered for the conference, 

or

3) you co-authored an accepted and registered paper, 

or

4) you do not have a paper, but you paid to join the conference

You DO NOT need to register for the conference to attend this session. This session is free and open to all to join, listen, interact, and learn. 
 
If you are interested, I strongly recommend that all student participants participate. Please send the following to this email address: caadri...@gmail.com by March 31st, 2026

(any queries can also be sent here.)
 
1) a CV

2) your paper ID, full accepted paper, or proof of registration

3) your student ID card

4) an abstract of your postgraduate research (this must be DIFFERENT from your accepted paper; it should be the research you are working on to graduate)
5) three questions you would like to ask the panels about your postgraduate study experience or your research
 
We will hold this session in person. Those who attend the conference in person will be given priority, but we may also have partially online sessions if unique circumstances arise.

I look forward to seeing all of you at the conference!
