Continuing this trend, the 22nd ECIS in Tel-Aviv, in June 2014 aims to feature a number of co-located workshops. We invite the IS community to propose Pre-ECIS workshops to be held prior to ECIS2014. The main event is held on Monday 9th till Wednesday 11<sup>th</sup> of June 2014 and workshops can be scheduled on the 7<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup> of June.
