Community Meeting 1: IS Young Talent Event for IS Doctoral Students

Description

The IS Young Talent Event for doctoral students of the WI 2025 is aimed at doctoral students in Information Systems or related disciplines who are interested in an academic career. The 3-hour event is sponsored by the association “Die WI e.V.”.

Why take part in the Young Talent Event?
The aim of the Young Talent Event for Doctoral Candidates is to show interested doctoral candidates potential paths in science and give them the opportunity to find out more about specific areas of focus. In this way, we want to support doctoral students in deciding for or against an academic career and help them to set the right course as early as possible. Furthermore, we want to promote the exchange between postdocs, junior professors and doctoral students.

Program
At the event, postdocs and junior professors will give short presentations on their academic careers and special topics. Following the presentations, there will be an informal exchange between the speakers and the participating doctoral students. Finally, we have planned a “Research Tinder”, where the doctoral students will have the opportunity to get to know each other better and network about their research topics. Here you can find potential research partners based on the topics, domains, theories or methods addressed and thus expand your own network within Information Systems.
