The goal of the Ph.D. Student Colloquium of the ISCRAM 2009 conference is to develop and sustain a network of junior scholars conducting high quality research in the area of Information Systems for crisis response and management. Accomplishment of this goal is supported through a one-day program taking place immediately prior to the main ISCRAM conference that is designed to foster community, excellence in student scholarship and advancement in the profession. Eligible participants are Ph.D. students who, by the time of the symposium, will not have defended their dissertation. The colloquium is targeted towards those students seeking careers as researchers in academic settings.

Up to ten students will be accepted for the consortium. They will be joined by faculty mentors from the US and Europe who are actively involved both in the ISCRAM community and in ISCRAM-related scholarship. The colloquium will consist of discussions, presentations and shared activities on each of the following topics: Overview of career development strategies, Building and participating in research networks, Completing the Ph.D., Finding and hitting the right publication targets, Writing successful grant proposals
