About the symposium

A one-day summit for Dutch Information Systems research

DISS aims to bring together information systems scholars from Dutch universities in Maastricht to exchange current research, find new collaborations, and connect with peers in an informal setting.

What to expect

A snapshot of Dutch IS scholarship

The program features three research presentations and a keynote lecture highlighting work taking place across Dutch universities. Coffee, lunch and dinner are provided, and the schedule includes additional opportunities for networking throughout the day.

Participation is intended for information systems scholars employed by Dutch universities. To cover food and drinks, we charge a €50 registration fee. Registrations may be prioritised to keep a balanced representation across institutions.

The maximum amount of participants we can accommodate are 100. As such, registrations will close once we reach this number.

Why attend

Build the Dutch IS community

As a small information management group in Maastricht, we wanted to build a stronger network with fellow information systems scholars across the Netherlands. DISS is a chance to compare research agendas, share methodological lessons, and discuss emerging topics that matter to all of us.

We hope the day sparks collaborations that continue afterwards: joint projects, research visits, shared PhD courses, or simply knowing whom to call when a new idea surfaces.
