[AISWorld] REMINDER: ICIS Invites Nominations for the 2017 Doctoral Consortium in Seoul, Korea

[VARUN GROVER]

REMINDER

We invite nominations for the 38th International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) 2017 Doctoral Consortium. The Consortium will be held at the Hoam Faculty House in Seoul National University, on 6-8 December, immediately prior to ICIS 2017.

Since the 1980s, the Consortium has provided students who are doing their doctoral dissertations with the chance to present and obtain comments on their research, to hear about the work of their peers at other universities, and to gain an understanding of what academic and research careers are all about. It also offers students opportunities to make new friendships with other students and leading faculty from around the globe.

Participation in the Consortium is by invitation only. Each university may submit only one nominee. If two units of a university hold separate memberships in AIS, they each may submit one nominee from their respective unit. Each student selected for the Consortium is expected to attend all Consortium meetings and activities, from the opening on Wednesday evening to the closing on Friday evening (i.e., participants will not be able to participate in any pre-ICIS activities that conflict with the Consortium schedule). Candidates who are not able to make this commitment to the Consortium should not apply.
