Welcome to AIS SIG CCRIS

AIS SIG CCRIS brings together scholars and professionals interested in how cultural, social, organizational, and institutional contexts shape the development, governance, and use of information systems and digital technologies worldwide.

SIG CCRIS serves as an international, interdisciplinary community supporting research that crosses national, regional, organizational, and societal boundaries. We welcome culture-specific, comparative, and critical perspectives, and encourage dialogue across diverse theoretical and methodological traditions.

What We Do

SIG CCRIS promotes cross-cultural IS research by:

  • Fostering scholarly exchange and community building

  • Sponsoring conference tracks, panels, and workshops

  • Supporting critical discussions of culture, power, inclusion, and governance in IS

  • Creating opportunities for collaboration across regions and disciplines
