ECIS is considered the premier information systems event in Europe and provides a platform for the presentation of peer-reviewed academic research and networking with information systems research academics and professionals. All submissions are double-blind reviewed and recent acceptance rates have been close to 30%. The electronic version of the conference proceedings will be available publicly at the AIS Electronic Library.

ECIS 2012 is proud to offer a wide range of track themes that celebrate and refine the traditions of the information systems discipline, yet also encourage progress in emerging domains. We currently offer over 20 specific tracks that encourage academic rigour and refinement while embracing intellectual risk and exploration.

The first ECIS conference took place in 1993 in Henley-on-Thames in the UK. This year, the 20th European Conference on Information Systems will celebrate two decades of outstanding IS scholarship at ESADE in Barcelona on 10-13 June, 2012.

Barcelona is beautifully located on the shores of the Mediterranean in north-eastern Spain. It is the second largest city in Spain and is clearly a Mediterranean city, not only because of its geographic location, but also because of its history, architecture, and cultural influences. The documented history of the city dates back to the founding of a Roman colony in the second century B.C. Modern Barcelona experienced spectacular growth and economic revival at the onset of industrialisation during the second half of the 19th century. The city today is known for its flourishing cultural, artistic, and musical communities, as well as the splendour of Catalonian modernist architecture.

Submissions due:  1 December, 2011
Doctoral Consortium:  8-10 June, 2012
Welcome reception:  10 June, 2012
Conference:  11-13 June, 2012
