The course covers fundamental and current research in Information Systems. Topics discussed range across fields and methods.

Students will engage in in-class discussions of seminal and frontier papers. Each session is attended by ten or fewer students and is led by an expert faculty, creating an engaging and intimate setting for emerging IS scholars to interact with and learn from their established peers. Faculty and students come from RSM, VU, and Tilburg and can thus form new cross-institutional ties. The course will equip students with a broad understanding of Information Systems research that will inform their own projects as well as prepare them for the job market.
