The Iranian Scholars Chapter of the AIS (IRAIS) is proud to announce a joint Junior and Senior Doctoral Consortium at the annual conference of the IRAIS (IRAIS 2023). This event will be held virtually and free of charge for all participants.

The Doctoral Consortium provides an excellent opportunity for young researchers and scholars to present their work, interact with peers and experts, and receive valuable feedback. The Junior Doctoral Consortium is designed for PhD students in their early stages of research (typically, 1st- and 2nd-year students). Junior PhD students will have the opportunity to present their work and receive feedback from experienced researchers and faculty. The Senior Doctoral Consortium is intended for PhD students who are near completion of their research (students who have already successfully defended their proposal). Senior PhD students will receive feedback on their dissertation work.
