<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The ACIS Doctoral Consortium provides a unique opportunity for Doctoral students in Information Systems to present their research to peers and senior faculty in a sharing supportive environment, and participate
in plenary sessions with senior academics. There is no charge for the consortium, which is sponsored by the Australian Council of Professors and Heads of Information Systems (ACPHIS) and the Deakin University. Home institutions are urged to give financial
assistance to successful candidates in the form of travel and accommodation expenses. Limited low cost accommodation is available, details of which will be supplied on acceptance. All accepted nominees are strongly urged to attend the Australian Conference
on Information Systems, and will qualify for substantially reduced registration fee.</p>
