<p><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family:
'Calibri'">The Student ThinkTank (Student Research
Consortium) is a full day meeting for students doing
Graduate
or Undergraduate work on auditory display. It will be held
on June 23rd. Selected students will give formal
presentations and have the opportunity to discuss research
ideas and problems with fellow researchers
in the field. The program will also include career-related
activities.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family:
'Calibri'">The ThinkTank is your chance to set a whole
roomful of auditory researchers to work on your particular
research issue, to help you choose which method, tool,
technique, or principle to use to save you from
heading down a dead end. Besides providing thoughtful
insights into your particular project, the
ThinkTank will foster friendships and networks among
fellow students and researchers that are essential
in an international community for auditory display.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family:
'Calibri'">Financial assistance will be available for
selected applicants from US Universities from ICAD and the
NSF.
Any registered ICAD participants can join as an observer
free of charge. If you’d like to attend as an
observer, please send an email to </span><span

will be particularly interesting or challenging
(as determined by the expert Panel). Each participant will
prepare a 15-minute presentation for all
ThinkTank attendees. The Panel will present a report on the
ThinkTank in the ICAD 2019 conference

those who submit a problem may participate in the ThinkTank
to watch the presentations and join

will be able to make a formal oral
presentation. Even if your problem is not selected you will
leave with a sense of what other students
are doing and how they are approaching problems in auditory
display, as well as new friends to talk
about your project with during the rest of the ICAD 2019
conference and in the future. If your problem
is selected you may also leave with the breakthrough you
need!
