[AISWorld] ECIS 2013 - Call for proposals for Pre-ECIS Workshops - Deadline October 1st

[Andrea Carugati]

Subject: Call for Pre-ECIS workshops - Deadline October 1st

Dear all,

The ECIS conferences increasingly attract co-located workshops on topics
that relate to Information Systems. Continuing this trend, the 21st
European Conference of Information Systems in Utrecht 2013 aims to feature
a number of co-located workshops. We invite the IS community to propose
Pre-ECIS workshops to be held prior to the ECIS conference. The main event
will take place on 6th to 8th June 2013 and workshops can be scheduled on
the 4th or 5th of June. Please find more information about ECIS 2013 at:
www.ecis2013.nl

The duration of a workshop could be one day or half a day (although
occasional pre-conference workshops at ECIS have taken two days) and the
location will be the striking Academic Hall right in the historic city
center of Utrecht 
(http://www.uu.nl/EN/academiegebouw/over/Pages/History.aspx). Because of
space limitations, the number of workshops is limited and therefore you
are invited to submit a proposal for evaluation by the 1st of October 2012.

Please be mindful of specifying in your proposal:
€	Title of the workshop
€	Workshop organizers (incl contact details)
€	Theme of the workshop
€	Format of the workshop (incl duration)
€	Justification for being ECIS pre-conference workshop
€	Names of the program committee
€	Plan for proceedings and publications / journal special issue
€	Expected attendance (historical data may help here)
€	Planned acceptance rate
€	Schedule for the workshop (deadlines etc.)

The decision about acceptance/rejection of workshop proposals will be made
by the Workshops Chairs in consultation with the Conference and Program
Chairs, taking into account venue capacity. Evaluation criteria include
overall quality and the fit with respect to the expected ECIS 2013
program. Note that proposals are especially encouraged on emerging topics
and should not already be covered by the main conference.
The organizing committee will help in organizing for the rooms and
technology and will provide catering at a fixed cost per participant.


The organizers of accepted workshops will be responsible for their own
reviewing process, publicity (e.g., website and call for papers), and
proceedings production. They will be required to closely cooperate with
the Workshops Chairs and the ECIS 2013 local organizers to finalize all
organizational details. Workshop attendees must pay the ECIS 2013 workshop
registration fee, as well as the conference registration fee. Workshop
registrations and payments will be done via the conference registration
system and thus the payments to the facilities will be taken care of by
the local ECIS organizers. In particular, local organizers may require
that all workshops adhere to specific requirements regarding the general
timetable, registration and catering.

Workshop organizers must inform the Workshop Chairs of the numbers of
submissions and acceptances as these numbers become available. Workshops
may be cancelled for extremely low submissions or registrations at the
early registration deadline. Please note that the duration of the workshop
might be adjusted based on the number of submissions received. Only
accepted workshops are official ECIS 2013 workshops and enjoy support for
the organizing committee.

Please send you proposal for a Pre-ECIS workshop by the 1st of October
2012.

Further deadlines
- October 15, the workshop chairs will send a proposal of selected
workshops to the ECIS Conference and Program Chairs.
- November 1, Notification of acceptance of proposals and start of
detailed discussions of workshop requirements and possibilities.
- November 11, final decisions on rooms and facilities. Workshop leaders
can start sending out their CfP.

Please submit your proposal to: Fons Wijnhoven
(fons.wijnhoven at utwente.nl), Andrea Carugati (andreac at asb.dk) and Remko
Helms (r.w.helms at uu.nl).

We look forward to receive your proposals!

Best regards,
Andrea Carugati and Fons Wijnhoven
ECIS 2013 ­ Workshop Chairs
and 
Remko Helms
