[Isabel Ramos]

Dear All,

We are pleased to announce the Summer School with the theme "Digital
Strategies for Internationalization" which will run from 04 to 10 September
2016 at the University of Minho in Portugal.

This course aims at developing skills to define and implement digital
strategies that favor the internationalization of organizations (public,
private or civil society). In this course, Konstanze Alex-Brown (Corporate
Social and University Influencer Relations Manager at Dell, Texas Tech
University), Ari Lightman (Carnegie Mellon University) and Araci Hack
Catapan (Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil) will present
concepts and approaches to develop successful online strategies with the
support of social media, gamification, crowdsourcing,  web influencers, and
intelligent technologies. The Monastery of Tibães (www.mosteirodetibaes.org),
will be used as a case study for the practical exploration of the presented
concepts and approaches (see the agenda at
http://www.ptais.org/images/Site/site/AttachFiles/Flyer_SC_Digital_Strategies_for_Internationalization.pdf
).

This course is intended for doctoral and post-doctoral researchers.

The course is organized by the Portuguese Association for Information
Systems / Portuguese Chapter of the Association for Information Systems (

Systems and Technology of the Engineering School of the University of Minho
(Guimarães/Portugal). It also has a partnership with the Monastery of St.
Martin of Tibães, former Mother House of the Portuguese Benedictine
Congregation, and heritage managed by the Regional Directorate of Northern
Culture / Ministry of Culture of Portugal.

largest city, Porto. The nearest airport is Francisco Sá Carneiro
