Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management (ISCRAM2012)

Ph.D Colloquium - Call for Participation

*Event: Sunday 22nd April 2012 9am – 4.30pm
Submission Deadline: February 15th, 2012

*

The goals of the ISCRAM 2012 Ph.D. Colloquium are three-fold:

   1. To develop and sustain a network of young scholars conducting high
   quality research in the area of Information Systems for Crisis Response and
   Management.
   2. To support the next generation of crisis management researchers by
   addressing issues relevant to the progression of a research career.
   3. To allow participants to discuss their research with leading
   specialists, scholars and peers in an international setting.

Accomplishment of these goals is supported through a one-day program that
takes place immediately prior to the main ISCRAM conference. The colloquium
is targeted at PhD students seeking careers as researchers in academic
settings. Information systems for crisis response and management is an
inherently multi-disciplinary domain and so PhD students from Computer
Science, Information Systems, Organization Research, Management Science,
Social Sciences and other related domains are eligible to apply.  Students
completing other terminal doctoral degrees are also welcome (e.g. MD, PsyD,
JD, etc.), assuming they are engaged in substantive research activities in
this field.

The colloquium will consist of discussions, presentations and shared
activities centered on the following topics: the Ph.D. process, building
and utilizing your research community, advancing your career, opportunities
for publishing your work and funding your future research. Up to twelve
students will be accepted for the colloquium. Numbers are kept purposely
small so that the support team can focus on quality interaction and
discussion. ISCRAM is dedicated to supporting Doctoral students in their
research in the area of crisis response and management. To show this
continued commitment students will be joined at the colloquium by
experienced faculty members from all over the world who will give
presentations, facilitate discussions and give advice. Also a more recent
researcher Bas Lijnse, winner of last year’s Best Student Paper, will also
join us to offer support and help.

students who submit papers to the ISCRAM conference itself (and who are
named as first author) will be eligible for the Mike Meleshkin Award for
best PhD Student paper. Attendance at the PhD Colloquium is not a
pre-requisite for eligibility for this award. If you intend to enter your
paper please indicate this on the ConfTool paper submission system.
