 “Socialising Business Research: Connecting and Advancing Knowledge” is organised by research students for research students with the aim to connect PhD students from business schools across Europe and beyond. Research socialisation will take place within the interdisciplinary business context, where PhD students across all years of study will be exposed to a wide range of business research topics, developing an appreciation for different perspectives, methods and theories. Formal and informal events will provide opportunities to network with fellow PhDs, academics and industry professionals. Professional Development Workshops (PDW) (both field-specific and generic on research skills) will provide a great opportunity for you to learn more about publishing and research methodologies within fields of study

SUBMISSIONS

The conference accepts two types of contributions: extended abstract (up to a maximum of 800 words) and poster. Also the poster submission should be accompanied by an extended abstract up to a maximum of 800 words. You will not be required to submit a full-length paper in advance of the conference.

Your contribution should clearly explain your chosen topic, your research question(s), theoretical background and the contribution of the research. Empirical and applicative contributions should provide a brief overview of their underpinning methodology, analysis and main findings
