The ACIS Doctoral consortium provides PhD students with an opportunity to present their work and obtain feedback from other doctoral students and senior IS scholars from other universities. 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.
