Master and PhD-students are invited to apply for the Student Consortium of the 21st Conference of the International Information Management Association (IIMA 2010, www.iima.org). With the application students are required to submit a paper describing their (intermediate) research approach and results. Topic of the paper should be related to the themes of the IIMA 2010 conference; students are especially encouraged to submit on business process management, e-business and Web 2.0 related topics. Papers will be peer-reviewed; accepted papers should be presented during the consortium. Papers will be distributed, separately from the IIMA 2010 proceedings, on a separate CD with an ISSN-number.

The consortium further includes a workshop on performing design research. Workshop discussions will be centered around research triggers, research questions, design artifacts and validation.

Students: Please submit your papers  (3000-5000 words) before June  1st, 2010 describing your research to the consortium co-chairs.

Professors: Submissions must be supported by students’ professors/supervisors. Please attach a short statement of support to your application.

For students who take part in the student consortium, IIMA-conference fee will be waived; the participant is expected though to cover her/his travel costs to the conference as well as the accommodation. Best papers will be considered for publication (altered) in the Communications of the IIMA (CIIMA, ISSN Print Copy: 1543-5970, ISSN On-line Issue: 1941-6687).
