It is a conduit for communication between industry and academia to ensure that relevant courses can be designed and research initiatives established throughout the UK. By continually improving the quality and relevance of teaching through innovative and rigorous research the society contributes to both academic development and excellence in IS practice throughout the UK. Part of their role has been to establish links between commercial, government and academic organisations. Teaching, research and practice in the field are supported by UKAIS through its annual conference, PhD consortia, workshops, regional groups and quarterly newsletter. HistoryThe society arose from a meeting in 1993 of leading UK academics in information systems. Concerns were expressed at the meeting about the way IS teaching and research were funded which stemmed from a lack of recognition of IS as a growing and important academic discipline. The UKAIS was established in 1994 to remedy this situation as a charity, whose aims are to provide a better knowledge of IS within the UK and to provide a forum for discussing issues in IS teaching and research. It also aims to be influential in obtaining better understanding of the uniqueness of the subject by HEFCE, the UK Research Councils, professional bodies, UK business and Government. They have successfully achieved recognition that IS is not being dealt with sufficiently by such bodies and have suggested ways of improving the situation.[1] The UKAIS has attempted to create a 'uniform' definition of Information Systems.{{quote|text=Information systems are the means by which people and organisations, utilising technologies, gather, process, store, use and disseminate information.}}Beyond this the work of the society is within the domain involving the study of theories and practices related to the social and technological phenomena, which determine the development, use and effects of information systems in organisations and society.
