The participants will also be exposed to the academic and research career and pathways from formal and informal sessions. They will also have opportunities to establish friendships and research collaborations with other participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Call for Nominations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We invite nominations for the&nbsp;<strong>36th Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS) 2025 Doctoral Consortium<\/strong>. The Consortium will be held in Moreton Bay, Australia on Monday 1<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;December to Tuesday 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;December- with a welcome gathering on November 30<sup>th<\/sup> from late afternoon (5.00-7.00 pm).

Participants will be selected based on the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the quality of proposed research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>significance of the research and the potential contribution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the potential contribution the student can make to the Doctoral Consortium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the potential benefit of the Doctoral Consortium to the student\u2019s research and professional development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Registration and Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no registration fee to attend the Consortium. However, nominating institutions are expected to provide financial assistance to successful nominees in the form of travel and accommodation expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Please note<\/em>: All accepted students to the Consortium are encouraged to register for and attend the ACIS 2025 conference, which immediately follows the Consortium.

This will cover attendance at all conference sessions and exhibits, and conference lunches\/refreshment breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IMPORTANT: Participants should not bring guests (e.g., other students or supervisors) to the Consortium.

Each university may nominate two PhD students working on IS-related research projects. Students who have successfully defended their PhD proposals or are halfway through their PhD study are eligible to participate in the Consortium. Students who will complete their PhD dissertations by December 2025, or are close to completion are not eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participation in the Doctoral Consortium offers more benefit to students who have established their initial research model and research design than to those who are very early in their PhD study or very close to thesis submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An ideal candidate would have completed at least one year of their PhD study and have at least six months before PhD completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DC Keynotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prof. Michael Myers<\/strong>, University of Auckland, NZ<br><strong>Prof. Rodney J.
