===========================================

Continuing its successful tradition, the 10th International Conference On Web Reasoning And Rule Systems (RR 2016) will host a Doctoral Consortium (DC).

The RR 2016 DC will provide doctoral students in Web Reasoning and related areas with a unique opportunity to present and discuss their research directions, be involved into state-of-the-art research discussion, and supported in establishing fruitful research collaborations.

The DC is composed by two main events:

 - a mentoring lunch, where students will have the opportunity to get in touch with prominent researchers and pioneers in the field of Web Reasoning and Rules, and of related areas; and
 - a poster session where students will have the possibility to present their work, share their ideas, and receive constructive feedback on their research activity.
