WORKSHOP GUIDELINES

The tentative workshop organization follows:

1. Registration and coffee
    

2. Leading researchers discuss issues relating to emerging issues in the area of ICT and Travel & Tourism research, the process of conducting thesis research as well as guidelines for publishing in IT and tourism journals.
    

3. Ph.D. candidates exhibit and briefly present their proposals (for about 10 minutes) in a “research in Progress Session.” The presentations introduce the ideas/issues in their thesis.
    

4. Supervisors and students break into groups depending upon topic and extent of progress toward thesis completion. Participants in these parallel sessions discuss issues related to students’ research projects.
    

5. At the end of the workshop, each group summarizes the key insights from the breakout sessions and all participants share contact information.
    

6. Students, researchers and others gather for an informal post-workshop wind down and networking.
    

7. Students are encouraged to join IFITT and participate in the interactive online database and continue their discussions.
