Doha, Qatar: Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMU-Q), a Qatar Foundation partner university, is playing a key role in expanding the scholarly community in information systems within Asia.
In December, the International conference on Information Systems (ICIS) will be held in Thailand, the first time southeast Asia has hosted the conference.
CMU-Q's Nui Vatanasakdakul (pictured), associate teaching professor of information systems, has played an integral part in the preparation and organization of ICIS 2024. She has a leadership role as the local chair of the conference.
“This has been a five-year journey,” said Vatanasakdakul.“It benefits the entire information systems research community in Asia when we have strong local chapters, and we connect our talented researchers so they can collaborate and learn from one another.”
“In 2019, organizers of ICIS contacted us about helping expand the information systems community in southeast Asia,” she said. As a Thai citizen, she was a natural fit to help establish a new AIS chapter in Thailand. The chapter was launched in 2021, and just three years later will host ICIS 2024 in Bangkok. The conference promises to be a landmark event, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers and information systems experts from around the world.
CMU-Q faculty in information systems have a proven track record in establishing a strong scholarly and professional community in the field. CMU-Q faculty members were key to creating the Qatar chapter of the association for information systems (QRAIS) in 2013, and the chapter's executive has included CMU-Q faculty members for more than a decade. Vatanasakdakul is the current president of QRAIS.
“ICIS is the most prestigious gathering of information systems scholars in the world,” said Chadi Aoun, area head of information systems at CMU-Q and the founder of SIGGreen, a special interest group in the AIS that promotes research in sustainability.
