ISCRAM Global Activities

ISCRAM actively organizes events across the globe throughout the year: the international ISCRAM conference and  PhD Colloquium in the Spring,  the ISCRAM Summer School during summer (obviously ;)) and ISCRAM-ASIA in the Fall.

This year, we have ISCRAM2013 in Baden-Baden (Germany) from May 12-15, the ISCRAM Summer School in Tilburg (the Netherlands) from August 21-28, and ISCRAM-ASIA2013 in Harbin in October 2013. 

ISCRAM International Conferences

Annually, the ISCRAM International Conference alternates between Europe and Northern America. At every conference, we also organize a PhD Colloquium mainly targeted at early stage researchers in the ISCRAM area. 

The 2013 ISCRAM Conference, taking place inVancouver, is already our 10th International Conference. Previous editions were held in Brussels (2004 and 2005), Newark (2006), Delft (2007), Washington DC (2008), Gothenburg (2009), Seattle (2010), Lisbon (2011) and Vancouver (2012).

ISCRAM PhD Colloquium

The goals of the ISCRAM 2012 Ph.D. Colloquium are three-fold:

1. To develop and sustain a network of young scholars conducting high quality research in the area of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management.
2. To support the next generation of crisis management researchers by addressing issues relevant to the progression of a research career.
3. To allow participants to discuss their research with leading specialists, scholars and peers in an international setting.

ISCRAM-CHINA and ISCRAM-ASIA Conferences 

Since 2006, we also organize - together with Harbin Engineering University - an annual conference in Harbin, China. Following five successful editions in Harbin, we have decided to move the conference to Beijing in 2012 for what is to become the first ISCRAM-ASIA conference.

More information on ISCRAM-ASIA2013 will be available soon.

ISCRAM Summer School

Also since 2006, we organize an ISCRAM Summer School in Tilburg University, the Netherlands.
