[AISWorld] Final Call for Participation in the Junior Faculty Consortium at ECIS 2024

[Sarker, Saonee]

We invite all IS Junior Faculty in Region 2 (Europe/ Middle East/Africa) to apply to participate in the Junior Faculty Consortium on 16 June 2024 in Cyprus.



The Junior Faculty Consortium provides an opportunity for untenured faculty to discuss issues around advancing their career and becoming successful academics. The consortium consists of panels, discussions, and interactive paper development sessions and provides a platform for conversations on navigating academic careers as well as for networking with mentors and other junior faculty. A select group of highly successful IS faculty from universities around the world (mentioned below) will serve as faculty mentors and will share their experiences, advice, and strategies for publishing.



The consortium will address various topics and related choices that junior faculty have to make on their academic journey, including publication and networking strategies, tenure preparation and career planning, work-life balance, managing co-authorships, etc. The workshop format will be very interactive to make the day fruitful and enjoyable for the participants.
