Call for Papers: http://www.ecis2017.eu/submissions/
Deadline: Dec 3, 2016



ECIS 2017 will take place in Guimarães, Portugal at the Centro Cultural
Vila Flor and is hosted by the Department of Information Systems of the
University of Minho. The aim of the ECIS 2017 is to discuss the fundamental
issues related to the role information systems research and education can
play in creating a smart, sustainable and inclusive world.

The world is facing very complex and long-term challenges that require
sophisticated and integrated responses in a context of globalization,
strong interdependency, pressure on resources, ageing. Simultaneously, the
creation and sharing of information and knowledge is growing at a fast
pace. The increasing pace of technological innovation and qualification of
human resources brings with it the hope that the economic and social
changes necessary to the well being of the world population may occur in an
effective way.

The Information Systems and Technologies have the potential to enhance the
collective intelligence necessary to support a smart, sustainable and
inclusive world. They can:

(i) improve the use of scarce resources;
(ii) engage citizens in the participative and self-organized processes
required to improve regions’ resilience and well-being;
(iii) enable innovative ways to do business;
(iv) support the effective use of huge amounts of information in private
and public decision making;
(v) extend the human capabilities (physical and cognitive) among many other
applications with a strong potential to contribute to effectively address
the global challenges ahead.

We invite all of you to submit a paper to ECIS 2017 that will take place in
the historical city of Guimarães.

Helmut Krcmar, Virpi Tuunainen and Isabel Ramos.
Conference Co-Chairs.
