The UKAIS consortium provides a great opportunity for researchers who are
undertaking an IS-related PhD or Professional Doctorate to gain input and
feedback from senior IS researchers and peers. Researchers may present
research at any stage – from proposal to writing up.

*The consortium provides: *

   - An opportunity for small group, in-depth discussions which focus on
   participants’ research issues, around both the object and method of the
   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 PhD and professional doctorate students to submit a 500-1,000
word abstract summarising the aims, methods and relevancy of the research
topic by Friday 22 February 2018 to UKAIS2018 at gmail.com, with the subject
heading ‘UKAIS PhD Consortium’.
