Call for Papers
The 7th China Workshop on Economics of Information Systems Theory (CWEIST 2025) will be held in Xi'an, China on June 26-27, 2025, in conjunction with CSWIM 2025.
We invite submissions of original completed and research-in-progress papers that use analytical modeling (e.g. game-theoretic and mathematical models) to address IS and related issues. The workshop features hour-long extended-length presentations with assigned expert discussants. In this year, CWEIST will also feature a Pre-workshop Consortium that offers a unique networking and professional development opportunity for CWEIST participants.
Submitted manuscripts will be reviewed and selected for inclusion by workshop co-chairs. CWEIST does not claim copyright for any accepted submissions and will not produce formal proceedings or post/distribute any submissions.
For more information about the workshop, please visit the workshop website at http://idsdl.csom.umn.edu/cweist2025/ or join WeChat group CWEIST.

Pre-Workshop Consortium
The Pre-Workshop Consortium offers a unique networking and professional development opportunity for CWEIST participants. Through round table discussion guided by mentors, this event fosters an atmosphere of collaboration and offers participants valuable feedback, expanded networks, new ideas, and potential collaboration opportunities.
We especially encourage Ph.D. students and junior faculty to participate in the Pre-workshop Consortium as it will provide an excellent opportunity for you to network with established scholars and peer participants, and allows you to quickly gather feedback and advice on your work.
Consortium Mentors
We are excited to bring you the following distinguished scholars as this year's Consortium Mentors:
Hong Guo
Arizona State University
De Liu
University of Minnesota
Dengpan Liu
Tsinghua University
Hong Xu
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Ling Xue
University of Georgia
Mingwen Yang
University of Washington
Format
The consortium will set up multiple tables with each table hosted by one or two mentors. The consortium will proceed in a few sessions with participants moving to a different table after each session (while the mentors stay at the same table) to maximize networking opportunities.
Registration
At the time of registering for the Workshop, you need to indicate your intent to participate in the pre-workshop consortium. Please note that there is a fee associated with the consortium (see the Registration section for details).
Instructions for Consortium Participants:
To make the consortium efficient, we ask each participant to prepare a "One-Minute Elevator Pitch" in advance in the form of one or two slides summarizing your current research and questions. For example, if you would like feedback on a specific research project, you may utilize the two slides to describe your project. If you don't have a specific project, you can describe your research background and questions. A template for the slides is provided to help you structure your information effectively.
Consortium Elevator Pitch Slides Template
Please send your slides to cweistcochairs@gmail.com by the end of June 25. Our mentors and other participants will review these slides before the consortium to better understand your work and provide tailored advice.
