The ERCIS – European Research Center for Information Systems is an international research network of universities and research institutions that deals with issues related to Digital Transformation, Information Systems, and Organizational Design. It promotes interdisciplinary research with high societal and economic relevance in collaboration with partners from academia, industry, and the public sector.
History and Structure
[edit | edit source]ERCIS was founded in 2004 at the University of Münster and is regarded as a pioneer in European Information Systems research.[2] Today, it is a globally active network focused on the challenges of digital transformation.
The central governance of the network is handled by the Steering Board,[3] which defines the strategic orientation and promotes international collaboration.
The Steering Board is composed of representative members from selected partner institutions of the network.
Research Focus
[edit | edit source]Researchers at ERCIS study the interaction between people, organizations, and technology in the context of socio-technical information systems. The research is interdisciplinary and application-oriented, covering, among others, the following topics:
- Process Science[4]
- Data Science
- Business Process Management (see e.g., the involvement of ERCIS partners in the International Conference on Business Process Management)
- Social Media Analytics and Misinformation[5]
- Digital Transformation in Small and medium enterprises[6]
- Crisis Management[7]
- Artificial Intelligence in Managerial finance[8][9][10]
- E-Government & Public Sector Innovation[11]
The research combines perspectives from business administration, computer science, law, and sociology. ERCIS’s broad scope ranges from conceptual design through technical implementation to the evaluation of IT systems at individual, organizational, and societal levels.
ERCIS researchers regularly publish academic position papers (similar to Op-eds) to actively shape ongoing debates on IT-related topics, particularly at the European level.[12][13][14] The goal is to contribute well-founded scientific perspectives to political, societal, and economic discourses and to provide concrete impulses for shaping Digital Transformation.
Network
[edit | edit source]ERCIS consists of more than 30 partner institutions worldwide, collaborating closely in research and teaching. The network supports regular member exchange through annual workshops[15] and participation in major conferences of the Association for Information Systems, especially ECIS European Conference on Information Systems and ICIS International Conference on Information Systems.
International Research Partners
[edit | edit source]ERCIS maintains close relations with the following associated research partners:[16]
Advisory Board
[edit | edit source]An advisory board,[17] consisting of companies from various industries, supports the work of ERCIS and ensures the connection between academia and practice. It promotes applied research, teaching formats, and the development of young talent.
