Abstract

The research infrastructure of a mature discipline includes many components, one of which is the steady production of PhD graduates. In a young discipline such as computing education, there are relatively few supervisors and students, supervisory norms have not matured and networking between students and with other researchers is challenging. In such a context, the development of a doctoral consortium (DC) is particularly important. This editorial captures the need to provide a regular DC for the UK computing education research community, and directions for development.
