The 12th Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems will be held in Corfu, Greece on 28-30 September 2018, and is hosted by the Department of Informatics of the Ionian University. The theme of the conference “Digital and social transformation for a better society” reflects the dual impact of Information Systems (IS) towards fueling both digital and social transformation. Within the last years, the changing role of the Information Systems towards enabling digital innovation is a common theme in the IS research agenda. The MCIS2018 conference theme focuses to the upcoming role of digital technologies to trigger changes first in individual level and then to the social system. The digital innovation results in fundamental changes for society and human lives. The social transformation may take the form of encouraging social inclusion, enabling cultural reform, assisting social mobility, safeguarding social cohesion, or other social change. We invite academics and researchers, from all over the world and especially from the Mediterranean region, to reflect on the social, economic and cultural particularities of the Mediterranean region, raise the visibility of IS research carried out in the Mediterranean region and bring together the IS community in a creative dialogue on the impact of digital technologies in developing better societies and reinforcing organizational change.

Please note that the best papers of the conference will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the International Journal of E-Services and Mobile Applications (IJESMA). Moreover, selected papers from the Security and Privacy Track will be invited for further publication in the International Journal, Information and Computer Security.
