Chair Julie Fisher, Monash University

The 2006 ACIS doctoral consortium will provide students with the unique opportunity to share and discuss their research with peers and faculty members in a supportive environment. The Doctoral Consortium will aim to provide constructive and valuable feedback to research students on their Ph.D. research and process. The doctoral consortium will be held on December 4-5, preceding ACIS 2006, at the Magill Campus of the University of South Australia, Adelaide . The consortium will begin on December 4 at 1:00 PM .

The Doctoral Consortium will provide students with an opportunity to:
