The Doctoral Consortium, organized in conjunction with the BIS 2026 conference, aims to provide a collegial, inclusive, and intellectually stimulating environment for doctoral students working in the field of Business Information Systems and related areas. As part of a well-established international forum, the Consortium brings together emerging scholars and experienced researchers to discuss the development, implementation, and advancement of business applications and systems.
Purpose and idea
- To give students the opportunity to present their work in front of an international audience
- To offer consultation of the ongoing PhD work
- To inspire students towards new research areas
- To provide students with feedback and discussion opportunities in a supportive environment
Acceptance criteria
Interested students should express their willingness to participate (registration).
Participants should submit:
- a short extended abstract (2–4 pages)
- a presentation (PDF)
Initial selection will be based on the submitted presentation and extended abstract.
Publication opportunity
- Selected participants may later prepare short papers of a maximum of 9 pages for consideration in the workshop post-proceedings
- Selected contributions can be considered for inclusion in the workshop post-proceedings (publication late 2026), published by Springer in the LNBIP series
- Submitted papers will undergo a formal review process after the conference
- Based on the review process, some papers may be rejected
Submission guidelines
