IRIS Seminar and SCIS Conference
The IRIS (Information systems research seminar in Scandinavia) began in 1978 and is the oldest consecutive IS conference in the world. After its first few meetings in Finland, the seminar now alternates between the Scandinavian countries. The conference is organised as an annual working seminar for Scandinavian researchers and PhD students. Each paper accepted at IRIS is given an hour for discussion in a working group - providing a unique foundation for an in-depth discussion of your work. Each year the best papers are chosen for publication in the proceedings of IRIS selected papers, published in the AIS library.
In 2010, the IRIS research community launched its own – full-fledged – conference, the Scandinavian Conference on Information Systems (SCIS). The conference has a format which is known from other conferences such as the IFIP working conference series. The submitted papers will be selected through a rigorous and double blind review process performed by a programme committee consisting of senior Scandinavian and international researchers in our field. The selected manuscripts are presented in formal paper sessions. The SCIS proceedings are published in the AIS library.
The IRIS association focuses on increasing the internationality of the conference and over the years, we have been happy to see an increasing number of participants from outside Scandinavia. Note the opportunity for scholarships for researchers outside of Scandinavia.
