[AISWorld] UKAIS Doctoral Consortium

[Guy Fitzgerald]

Dear All

On behalf of UKAIS (UK Academy for Information Systems) I am writing to 
tell you that there are still places available on the Doctoral 
Consortium that will take place on 3rd April 2017, just before the UKAIS 
Conference itself, at St Catherine's College, Oxford, UK.

The Doctoral Consortium has been running for many years and is always a 
very successful event judging from the feedback of the participants. For 
some, it has turned around their progress, and for others it has helped 
enormously, as well as providing a long-lasting support network of 
fellow PhDs. It is designed for PhD students at any stage of their 
studies and provides an opportunity for them to present their work and 
receive feedback from experienced supervisors and fellow students. This 
is particularly valuable for those who are not studying as part of a 
large PhD programme or have few other Information Systems colleagues in 
their home institutions.

So if you have any students who might benefit from the Consortium - it 
is not too late. Please contact Diana Limburg (dlimburg at brookes.ac.uk). 
Details below. Please also forward this notice on to other colleagues 
who might have potential attendees.

Many thanks.

Guy

The Consortium is intended for researchers undertaking a PhD or 
Professional Doctorate in keeping with the main themes of the 
conference. Researchers may present work at any stage. The consortium 
aims to provide:

·An opportunity for small group, in-depth discussions, which focus on 
participants’ research issues, around both the object and method of 
research;

·   Understanding of work in progress by other researchers active at PhD 
level in other universities;

·   Identification of other research related to the participant's 
interests.

We invite the supervisors of PhD and professional doctorate students to 
nominate their students for participation in the Consortium.

Board members.
