Dear Colleague

 

The response to the Call For Papers for the 16^th UK Academy For Information Systems 2011 Conference (UKAIS2011), which is due to be held in Oxford on 11-13 April 2011 has been very good but as usual we have had a number of requests for extensions.  To this end, we are holding the Call For Papers open until Monday 10 January 2011 to allow for the Christmas period.  Please feel free to circulate this information to colleagues who may be interested.  I have outlined the original details below.

UKAIS Conference – Tuesday 12 – Wednesday 13 April 2011

The United Kingdom Academy for Information Systems (UKAIS) arose from a meeting in 1993 of leading UK academics in Information Systems. Concerns were expressed at the meeting about the way IS teaching and research were funded. The concerns stemmed from a lack of recognition of IS as a growing and important academic discipline. UKAIS was established in 1994 to remedy this situation. It is a charity, whose aims are to provide a better knowledge of IS within the UK and to provide a forum for discussing issues in IS teaching and research. Since this first meeting in 1993, UKAIS has recognised the importance of including practitioners into its remit.

 

The UKAIS conference is the premiere academic event in the Information Systems calendar within the UK and attracts leading academics and researchers from the UK and overseas.

This year's conference will once again be held in the beautiful city of Oxford, and will bring together academics, researchers and practitioners of information systems for an exchange of ideas and experience around the subject of ‘IS/IT in its many uses’.
