We invite the submission of proposals for panels to take place
during ECIS 2020 (June 15-17). Please note that the submission
deadline has been extended to March 15, 2020. See
https://ecis2020.ma/panels/
Purpose
The purpose of panels in ECIS 2020 is to provide the opportunity
to present ground-breaking and perhaps controversial topics and
ideas to the IS community. Panels are expected to engage the
panellists and the audience in a discussion that will stimulate
interaction and enhance the learning experience with a goal of
moving the topic forward to greater understanding and application.
Panel topics can vary, but generally, they pertain to new and
controversial research questions, innovative research challenges,
changes to the status quo of the discipline, and technology-led
transformations that give rise to problems that are worthwhile to
build new research agenda around. We encourage proposals that
challenge the traditional panel format, and include innovative and
inspirational elements that are likely to prompt the sharing of
potentially important new ideas, surprising and spirited
reactions, and new conclusions about how IS researchers should be
targeting new areas.
Panels pertaining to any topic relevant to information systems
research are invited. Particularly welcome will be panel proposals
that will be related to the conference theme of "Liberty,
Equality, and Fraternity in a Digitalized World."
ECIS 2020 Required Elements of Panel Proposals A panel proposal
should include the following sections:
* Introduction: General description of the panel or issues to be
discussed or debated stating the motivation for the panel.
* Issues: Issues or dilemma that will be discussed.
* Panelists: Names and positions of those who will take varied
viewpoints. For debates, identification of proponents and
opponents is necessary.
* Panel Structure: Description of timing of the session and the
format of interaction among participants and with the audience.
Panels should be designed to result in a "meeting of the minds,"
and not as a few short linear presentations that are disconnected.
Assume 90 minutes in total.
* Participation Statement: A statement that all participants have
made a commitment to attend the conference and serve on the panel
if the panel is accepted.
* Biographies: A brief description of each participant's
background, including expertise related to the topic and views of
the issues. About 120 words per person.
* References: As appropriate.
Review Criteria
* Panel Topic: Topic must be novel, invite debate and discussion,
and showcase leading- edge issues that IS research should revisit
or undertake.
* Panel Format: Panel focuses on discussion and not the
presentation of research results; format is innovative, engages
the audience, and is not just "a set of talking heads."
* Panelists: Panelists include thought leaders and well-published
experts, and represent a diversity of opinions, backgrounds and
geographic regions.
* Implications: The outcome of the panel has likely implications
for practice or conduct of research in IS.
* Panel Interest: The panel seems likely to draw a wide audience.
Panel Proposal Format and Page Limit Requirements The panel
proposal must not exceed five (5) pages and must conform to the
ECIS 2020 Required Elements of Panel Proposals. The 5-page count
must include all text, figures, tables, and appendices. The
abstract, keywords, and references are excluded from this page
count. Submissions may include a video clip or similar to
illustrate the intended format.
