Doctoral Consortium
ACM SIGMIS Computers and People Research 2020
Digital Innovation: Designing our Digital Future
Location: Nuremberg, Germany
Dates: June 19-21, 2020
In conjunction with the CPR 2020 conference, a doctoral consortium
will take place on the opening day of the conference. This
doctoral consortium is intended for students at any stage of their
dissertation research. This could include those students who are
in the early stages of writing their dissertation proposal,
through to those who are writing up their findings.
Students interested in participating in the SIGMIS CPR doctoral
consortium should be conducting research on a topic related to the
conference theme or to the broad CPR focus on intersection of
information technology and people.
The purpose of the consortium is two-fold:
* Provide feedback and guidance to students on their proposal
while at a stage where feedback can be considered for future
dissertation work.
* Provide mentoring and networking opportunities to students who
wish to pursue careers as researchers at the intersection of
information systems and people.
Doctoral students interested in the consortium must submit an
application package which includes: (1) a nomination letter, (2)
an application letter from doctoral students, (3) 1/2 page
executive summary of the project, ans (4) a research proposal.
Students nominated for the consortium by their faculty sponsor
should submit the nomination letter and a 10-page research
proposal together via email
(
sigmisacm@gmail.com<mailto:sigmisacm@gmail.com>) by the due
date (February 3rd, 2020).
Nomination Letter. Doctoral students may be nominated to the
consortium by any faculty sponsor such as their dissertation
chair, coursework advisor or a faculty member with whom the
student is conducting research. The nomination letter must
indicate the student is in good standing in their program, the
sponsor's relationship with the student (eg. advisor, chair,
instructor), the student's status in terms of completion of their
dissertation (eg. proposal stage, pre-proposal, etc.), and
potential value in attending.
Application Letter. Students must submit an applicaiton letter
describing why they would benefit from attending, along with
specifics on personal learning objectives, and at least two
challenges or questions they seek assistance with.
Executive Summary. The 1/2 page should be suitable for sharing
with other doctoral attendees and/or publication in the
Proceedings if accepted. (Brief statement of Research Question,
Motivation, Theoretical foundation, Methodology, Early Findings if
applicable.)
Research Proposal. The student's research proposal should be 11pt
font, double spaced; the 10 pages excludes figures and references.
The document must clearly articulate the goal and motivation of
the research, the theories and literature that guide the research,
the methodology being used or under consideration, and early
findings if available.
The application package will be reviewed by a panel of highly
qualified senior faculty mentors. The doctoral students selected
to participate in the doctoral consortium will receive one round
of written feedback on their proposal prior to the conference.
At the conference, each student will present their research ideas
or questions and engage in discussion with faculty and fellow
consortium participants. The doctoral consortium will allow
activities in plenary mode and intense workshop sessions in
smaller groups.
* Accepted students may choose to publish an extended abstract of
their proposal in the conference proceedings.
* Funding will be available to assist with travel and registration
fees to students selected for the doctoral consortium.
If you have any questions you may contact any of the doctoral
consortium co-chairs.
