Graduate Student Consortium

The Graduate Student Consortium (GSC) is a one day forum in which graduate students meet and discuss their work with each other and with a panel of experienced TEI researchers in an informal and interactive setting. The GSC will be held on Sunday January 23rd, 2011, the day preceding the main conference. Students give short presentations about their work during the consortium, and also present their work as posters during the main conference. The GSC will take place in room Selvagens IV at Hotel CS Madeira Atlantic.
