UKAIS 2020 – PhD & Professional Doctorate Consortium
<https://www.ukais.org/page-18137>

*Monday 30th March, St Catherine’s College, Oxford, UK*

Chairs: Dr Robert Campbell and Dr Diana Limburg
Keynote: TBA

The UKAIS consortium is a great opportunity for researchers undertaking an
IS-related PhD or Professional Doctorate to gain input and feedback from
senior IS researchers and peers. Research may be presented at any stage –
from proposal to writing up. This is a well-established event that has
consistently gained very positive feedback from attendees.

The consortium provides:
• 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 researchers active at PhD level in
other universities;
• Identification of and learning from other research related to the
participant's interests.

Consortium attendees are also entitled to a discounted fee for attending
the main UKAIS conference (30 March and 1 April).

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 21st February 2020 to UKAIS2020 at gmail.com, with the subject
heading ‘UKAIS PhD Consortium’. Will we endeavour to notify you of
acceptance within two weeks of you submitting your abstract.
