On May 26, 2015, the 23rd European Conference on Information Systems opened its doors in Münster. As a multi-faceted city of science and learning, the City of Westphalian Peace, the capital city of bicycles and Germany’s Climate Protection Capital, Münster is perfect for ECIS 2015!

ECIS 2015 should be a meeting place for European and non-European IS researchers from various cultures and countries, and should reflect specific and innovative IS research dealing with the overarching networked society.

Modern society is a networked society permeated by information technology (IT), which defines ECIS 2015's Conference Theme. Networks - perceived as a group of organisations and people who exchange information, contacts, and experience for professional or social purposes - leave their mark on almost every area of our society and promise various advantages to those involved. From a technical perspective, more information can be communicated to more recipients than ever before. The extensive use of Information Systems has enabled the co-evolution of advanced quantitative and qualitative forms of networking.
