Exchange and Expand
Exchange knowledge, expand your networks and generate conversations with leading management and organisation studies scholars!
Experienced management scholars will share their knowledge about undertaking doctoral research and pursuing a career in academia. They will also help open your horizons and discuss alternative career paths including a practitioner in a chosen industry, an entrepreneur utilising research base, and a policy maker in an international organisation. Learning from those scholars and asking them all the questions you have always wanted to ask is a great opportunity. Do not miss this opportunity to learn about the tacit knowledge underlying a PhD process and to get useful insights on how to complete a PhD in a successful way and how to develop a career trajectory transitioning out of your PhD.
Collaborate
The largest part of the colloquium is dedicated to the discussion of your papers in small mentoring groups – each supervised by an experienced senior academic mentor, many of them being global thought leaders and distinguished scholars in their field, and highly experienced supervisors. The aim is not that you shall give a “traditional” paper presentation, but to discuss your research with your peers in the group as well as your Mentor and seek advice and guidance on the key issues and challenges that you experience in a particular phase of doctoral research you are in. These highly intensive and interactive mentoring sessions make our EURAM DC distinctive, collaborative and future orientated. As we connect you with your peers and senior scholars in your field, we hope that we will make you an active participant of the research ecosystem for a life-time collaboration opportunity.
This is your opportunity to showcase your research and your scholarly mission to different audiences; to connect with an international network of academics and further beneficiaries and users of research; expressing your talent and win the EURAM 2023 Doctoral Colloquium Best Paper Award! Our scientific committee will select the winners of the EURAM 2023 Doctoral Colloquium Best Paper Award among all accepted submissions. This is an excellent opportunity to advance recognition of your research and you as a researcher engaging in this highly intellectual and noble work!
Engage and Stay with us
Identify your way of joining the EURAM community of researchers!
You will get guidance on how to become part of our EURAM research community. We will, for instance, invite you to become part of the European Early Career Community (EECC) and the EURAM Strategic Interest Groups (SIGs). The SIGs are the “heart and soul” of our association and SIG representatives will join in – not only with their scientific expertise as mentors and/or speakers – but also with insights on the further development of EURAM that may be of great value for you as early career researchers. Join us, connect with us, and stay with us by attending our main conference and other events throughout the year. Help us shape the future of EURAM and the future of management and organisations together!
