The Professors and Heads of Information Systems, New Zealand (PHIS-NZ) group represents NZ information systems academics and researchers in matters of national, regional and international importance.
PHIS-NZ provides a forum for discussion and debate on issues relating to the development of information systems as a discipline in NZ universities, advises the government on policies affecting university education and research and acts as a community of practice between information systems departments.
Since its inception, it has organised annual meetings and Information Systems Doctoral Consortiums.
