DETAILED CALL FOR DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM [PDF]


INTRODUCTION TO THE DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM

Following the ISCRAM tradition, the Doctoral Colloquium will take place prior to the main conference on Sunday May 28, 2023. The colloquium is dedicated to doctoral students seeking careers as researchers in public, private and academic organizations with research interests in crisis management. The colloquium is also open to undergraduates.

The goals of the ISCRAM 2023 Doctoral Colloquium are three-fold:

  • To develop and sustain a network of young scholars conducting high quality research in the area of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management.
  • To support the next generation of crisis management researchers by addressing issues relevant to the progression of a research career, such as communication skills (both verbal and written).
  • To allow participants to discuss their research with leading specialists, scholars, and peers in an international setting.

Each student will be assigned a mentor who will critique and offer constructive feedback on the student’s research. Students will also present their work to the group with substantial time allowed for discussion and questions by the colloquium chairs, mentors, and other students. One focus of the colloquium will be to provide opportunities for peer-to-peer review and mentoring in an effort to learn from others and build a community of scholars. Our goal is to help students further develop their research designs, results, and analyses such that they can produce high-quality research, theses, and publications.
