[AISWorld] ICIS 2021 DC Call for Nominations

[Pär Ågerfalk]

We invite nominations for the 42nd International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) 2021 Doctoral Consortium. The Consortium will be held in Austin, TX, on 8–10 December, immediately before ICIS 2021. Students selected for the Consortium who cannot travel due to COVID-19 restrictions will be accommodated online/hybrid participation.

Since the 1980s, the Consortium has provided students who are doing their doctoral dissertations with the chance to present and obtain comments on their research, hear about the work of their peers at other universities, and understand what academic and research careers are all about. It also offers students opportunities to make new friendships with other students and leading faculty worldwide.

Participation in the Consortium is by invitation only. Nominated candidates should intend to pursue an academic career in Information Systems following the completion of their Ph.D. studies. Prospective candidates and their schools/departments are encouraged to submit nominations for selection to the doctoral consortium.  Details of the submission and review process are described on the conference website in the space dedicated to the doctoral consortium (https://icis2021.aisconferences.org/events/doctoral-consortium/). Nominations not adhering to the proposal length limits posted on the website will be rejected.

All of the documents required for the nomination should be submitted as one PDF file through the online submission system (https://new.precisionconference.com/ais) by the nominated doctoral student, not the nominating faculty member. All submissions must be received by the system no later than midnight on Monday, May 29, 2021 (US Eastern Time, UTC/GMT-5 hours). Incomplete or late submission packages will not be reviewed. No exceptions will be made.

Each university may submit only one nominee. If two units in the same university hold separate AIS membership, they may offer one nominee from their respective unit. We expect each student selected for the Consortium to attend all Consortium meetings and activities, from the opening on Wednesday evening to the closing on Friday evening (i.e., participants will not be able to participate in any pre-ICIS activities that conflict with the Consortium schedule). Candidates who are not able to make this commitment to the Consortium should not apply.
