PhD Day
We’re excited to host the PhD Day at DBOSI! PhD Day takes place in conjunction with DBOSI-26 and is aimed for PhD students.
This is your chance to:
- Present your work and discuss other’s projects in a friendly and inspirational setting
- Get feedback from a dream-team of high-profile, fun and smart international mentors
- Be inspired by our brilliant keynote speaker Mahya Ostovar
- Connect with fellow PhDs, senior scholars, and broaden your academic network
Topics & Themes
The PhD Day is part of DBOSI-26, the 8th Nordic Workshop on Digital Foundations of Business, Operations, Strategy, and Innovation. We welcome submissions from PhD students in Information Systems, Management, Computer Science, Strategy, Entrepreneurship, and related fields.
Submissions should connect to the broad themes of DBOSI. This year’s theme is Work and Digital Futures, with a focus on exploring how emerging technologies transform workplace dynamics and organizing.
We welcome both conceptual and empirical work, preferably at the later stages of your PhD journey.
