<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">The Doctoral Forum is intended to provide a setting for discussion of doctoral students' research projects with invited senior researchers and other participating students. The discussions will take
place in a constructive spirit and a friendly atmosphere taking into consideration the diversity of contemporary LIS. A further objective is to act as a platform initiating international contacts between doctoral students as well as researchers that may enable
future collaboration. We are investigating the possibility for forum participants to present their doctoral research as posters during the main conference in Copenhagen (optional).</font></div>
