in Oulu, Finland, August 9-12, 2015. IRIS38 offers a highly interactive environment for doctoral students in Information Systems to network, share ideas, and get high quality feedback on their research.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="BasicParagraph"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:120%;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">The conference is organized around working groups: The members of a group read each other’s papers in advance, and the time dedicated to a paper
(45 – 60 minutes) will be mostly used for feedback and discussion in the group. Every author who submits a paper will be automatically assigned to review 2-3 papers. IRIS is not limited to researchers from the Nordic countries: Researchers around the world
are welcome to attend.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="BasicParagraph"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:120%;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">To attract more senior researchers IRIS38 will be organized together with the Sixth Scandinavian Conference on Information Systems (SCIS 2015),
which follows more conventional conference procedures (see www.scis2015.org). The two conferences form an entity, and attendees register and can participate in both events.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"Cambria","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
