Time: May 16-17, 2022

Place: Stockholm University & Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden

KEY EVENTS

The GENMAC Conference will take place May 16-17^th, 2022 in Stockholm, Sweden. There will be a selection of hotels in downtown Stockholm available for conference attendees. A conference dinner will be held on May 16^th and an informal social gathering on the night of May 15^th.

The conference agenda will include competitive sessions, special sessions, working paper sessions, among other activities. Due to the insecurities connected to the COVID-19 pandemic we realize that many potential attendees have a hard time assessing whether traveling to Sweden in May of 2022 will be a reasonable option.

While we hope that there will be a critical mass of researchers actually gathering in Stockholm, we will also take measures to make sure that those that cannot attend in person will be able to join us digitally. The exact nature of these digital events are not decided upon yet, but we will strive to include those in different time-zones and are considering options such as pre-recorded presentations, hybrid sessions, and digital sessions.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Submissions are due January 17th, 2022.

Final decisions will be delivered February 23rd, 2022.

Completed papers should be submitted via Easy Chair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=genmac2022

In 2020 the GENMAC conference was going to take place in Stockholm but was cancelled due to the pandemic. If you had a paper accepted for that conference that you still find relevant and want to present at this conference, you do not have to go through the review process. Instead you can send the paper directly to the co-chairs.
