Call for Submissions & Important Dates
We invite the submission of Completed Research apers, Short Research Papers, Panel Proposals, TREO Forum Papers, workshops, and panels to the The 34th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS). To be held June 11-17, 2026, in Bocconi University, Milan, Italy, ECIS 2026 will bring together academics and industry professionals around the world to exchange knowledge related to diverse facets of information systems research and practice.

ECIS 2026 will provide exciting opportunities for participation, collaboration, and dialogue related to the conference theme “Reimagining Digital Technology for Business, Management, and Society”. With your contributions, we will present an exciting program that draws upon the best ECIS traditions. We anticipate thought-provoking presentations and stimulating discussions that exemplify our incredible discipline.

Submission Types
Completed Research Papers must not exceed sixteen (16) single-spaced pages and must conform to the ECIS paper submission template. The page limit is all inclusive, and includes the title, body of the paper, figures and tables, references, and appendices. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected. For empirical work, completed research papers should have completed analyses and documentation of results. Completed research papers should be similar to journal submissions, but shorter.

Short Research Papers must not exceed eight (8) single-spaced pages and must conform to the ECIS paper submission template. The page limit is all inclusive, and includes the title, body of the paper, figures and tables, references, and appendices. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected.

Short papers typically describe ongoing work that is yet to be completed, but promising. Short papers could take various forms. For example, they can be theoretical (presenting promising frameworks), empirical (with some preliminary results), or present a design of novel and useful concepts, artefacts (testing need not to be done). Short papers should include a paragraph describing what work remains to complete the paper, and how the authors plan to continue working on the paper prior to ECIS 2026 in June 2026. Please note that the progress described is expected to be substantive in nature. Accepted short papers will be presented in regular sessions as short presentations during ECIS 2026, and will appear in the ECIS 2026 Proceedings. In case of acceptance, authors should specifically report the progress made to the study between acceptance and delivery of presentation. Additional information on how to prepare for presentations in ECIS 2026 will be made available after paper acceptances.

Technology Research, Education, and Opinion (TREO) must not exceed three (3) single-spaced pages and must conform to the ECIS paper submission template. The page limit is all inclusive, and includes the title, body of the paper, figures and tables, references, and appendices. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected. The TREO papers should be framed as extended abstracts.

Accepted papers will be presented at the TREO Forum and will be published in the TREO Forum section of the AIS e-Library to allow engagement with the material beyond the presentation at the conference. Submissions that do not comply with the template requirements will be excluded from the AIS e-Library.

Panel Proposal must not exceed six (6) single-spaced pages and must conform to the ECIS paper submission template. The page limit is all inclusive, and includes the title, body of the paper, figures and tables, references, and appendices. Submissions that exceed this limit will be automatically rejected.

Panel sessions bring together researchers and/or practitioners with complementary or conflicting perspectives on a research topic or another issue of importance to the IS field. Panels provide an opportunity for a group of researchers to explore a topic or focus of interest in a panel format, typically involving a panel moderator (who poses several questions related to the topic) and three to four expert contributors with alternative views or perspectives on the topic. Depending upon the topic, the experts can be drawn from the academy and/or from industry. Of particular interest are panel submissions that are related to the conference theme, although panel proposals on other relevant topics are also welcome. The Panels Track Co-Chairs are willing to work with panel submitters to help them develop provocative ideas into strong proposals. Feel free to contact them for further details. The template for the submission is still the ECIS2026-submission-template.

Ancillary Meetings/Workshops are typically partial- or full-day sessions that facilitate discussion and exploration of ideas, techniques, and methodologies that advance research, teaching knowledge of IS-related concepts, or products from industry and their application to academia, educational curricula, or industry practice. Please contact the Ancillary Meetings co-chairs for further details and elements of the proposal. The template for the submission is still the ECIS2026-submission-template.

Originality, Plagiarism and Generative AI Tools
The submission, or a highly similar version, cannot have been published or accepted in a journal or another conference proceedings. Further, submissions must not be concurrently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere. Upon submission of a paper, authors must declare that they follow the AIS Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. We will follow the AIS guidelines to handle plagiarism cases. Serious cases will be considered and brought to the awareness of the AIS Research Conduct Committee. If a highly similar version of the submission exists, such as an unpublished Ph.D. thesis or early results of a study, this must be indicated in the submission as a footnote (kept anonymous to ensure a blind review process). While authors may use Generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) for certain aspects of their work, such as ChatGPT assisting in editing their writing, the submissions must represent the authors’ intellectual contributions. Authors will need to disclose the use of Generative AI for any aspect of the work. You need to declare in PCS before submission: “I have used Generative AI to assist in some aspect of conducting my research or writing the paper.” If the response is “Yes”, you will be asked to describe how you have used Generative AI in your work. We look forward to receiving your ECIS 2026 submissions!
