Doctoral Forum at CoLIS 9: The Ninth International Conference on Conceptions of Library and Information Science

We invite doctoral students to a doctoral forum held in connection with the main conference CoLIS 9 in Uppsala. The Doctoral Forum will take place on June 26, 2016, at the Department of ALM (Archive, Library and Museum Studies), Uppsala University, Sweden.

Date:  26th of June 2016

Objective: The Doctoral Forum is intended to provide a setting for discussion of doctoral students' research projects with invited senior researchers and other participating students. The discussions will take place in a constructive spirit and friendly atmosphere taking into consideration the diversity of contemporary LIS. A further objective of the forum is to act as a platform for initiating international contacts between doctoral students and with researchers for enabling future collaboration. We are investigating the possibility for forum participants to present their doctoral research as posters during the main conference in Uppsala (optional).
