Our Doctoral Consortium is a collegial environment to enable doctoral students currently working on dissertations in the area of Information Systems to share their work, receive constructive feedback, and build lifelong friendships.

English or French are the two accepted languages of the doctoral consortium and all submitted materials.

The application package should include the following the PhD student information including the dissertation abstract, and a Dissertation Proposal Abstract summarizing the research prepared by the student.

The submitted materials must be uploaded in ONE FILE and emailed to [email protected].

All submissions must be in Microsoft Word DOC/ DOCX format. The deadline for submission is August 3rd, 2021. Students’ packages that are incomplete, in other file formats, received after the deadline, or composed of multiple files will be declined.
