Third Pre-ECIS Workshop on Blockchain Research: Beyond the Horizon
- June 13th (9am - 12pm) & 14th (9am -
12pm)

Call for Abstracts
Description of Workshop
The first blockchain – a peer to peer virtual currency system –
was introduced in October 2008 as part of a proposal for Bitcoin
by Satoshi Nakamato, that “eschewed a central authority for
issuing currency, transferring ownership, and confirming
transactions” (Iansiti and Lakhani, 2017). Today’s applications of
such systems range from low novelty and complexity initiatives
(e.g. Bitcoin payments) to high novelty and complex initiatives
(e.g. self-executing contracts). There are also nuanced mature
Blockchain supply chain tracking initiatives in multiple domains.
Therefore, rigorous research pertaining to Blockchain is highly
needed, specifically from an organizational readiness perspective.
Building on the success of two previous ECIS workshops in
Portsmouth, UK, in 2018 and in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2019, the aim
of this workshop is to advance the theoretical and practical
discussions on Blockchain and to provide substantial feedback to
authors with an interactive format. This workshop is open to both
early-stage and advanced blockchain research projects and offers
networking opportunities.
The workshop will take place over two half-days in a hybrid format
encompassing paper sessions and interactive hands-on feedback. The
goal of the workshop is twofold: (1) giving feedback to the
authors and helping them to develop their ideas, and (2) providing
networking and collaboration opportunities.
Abstract Submission Requirements/Limits
This workshop is open to academic, public sector, governmental and
industry participants. Workshop participants are selected based on
extended abstracts. These abstracts can either be ideas or
suggestions for academic papers or research collaborations or
insights from proposed or current industry blockchain projects.
Either way, they should be early stage, but show some potential.
In the abstract the authors should provide a concrete idea on the
topic they are interested in. The extended abstracts should not
exceed two (2) pages. The submitted abstracts should outline a
research question, the research method being used and the expected
findings. There are no restrictions pertaining to the academic
approach. Conceptual abstracts are fine, as are empirical (theory
building and testing) and design science papers.
The workshop will be restricted to 30 participants. Accepted
authors will be allocated to teams based on similar blockchain
research interests and situated at roundtables. All accepted
authors will be expected to read all accepted papers prior to the
workshop. Initially, the authors will briefly present an overview
of their research. They will then receive constructive feedback
from both mentors and fellow authors on how they can advance their
own blockchain research or projects.
Relevant Dates
Submissions due by March 20, 2020, to be sent to workshop
