We are plesed to announce that the Call for Papers and Posters for our flagship Doctoral Symposium at the BAM2025 Conference is now open, with submissions open until Monday 5th May 2025.
The BAM2025 Doctoral Symposium takes place IN PERSON on Tuesday 2nd September 2025 at Kent Business School, University of Kent.
Convened by Prof Adina Iulia Dudau, our BAM2025 Doctoral Symposium features plenary sessions, methodology clinics, and expert feedback on your research. You can choose to participate in either Research Conversations or Student Paper Presentation sessions, both led by senior academics from the BAM community.
We encourage all business and management doctoral researchers across all disciplines to join us in person for this valuable and exclusive event.
Paper Presentations
Aimed at mid to later stage students with more developed research, the Student Paper Presentations give delegates the opportunity to present their research and gain feedback in a friendly & supportive environment.
In order to have a place in a presentation session, you should submit a paper of 2,000-2,500 words. Developmental papers are normally expected to have both theory and empirical material but are not expected to have fully developed analysis and conclusion.
Research Conversations
Aimed at students in the early stages of their research, the Research Conversations are round-table discussions designed to help students plan the direction of their research.
In order to have a place in a conversation, you should submit an outline paper of up to, and not exceeding, 1,500 words which should include the purpose of the research, key concepts from the literature, the research method and the research questions/hypotheses.
Poster Presentation
The posters are intended for delegates at the start of their PhD., but poster presentations are open to all delegates who consider that this may be useful for their research.
Posters will be displayed in the main foyer during all refreshment breaks and presenters will be assigned one break in which they are expected to stand with their poster and discuss their work with other delegates and speakers.
Best two posters will be awarded at the end of the day, once they have been assessed throughout the day by a judging committee.
NOTE: *If students have had a paper accepted at the conference, you are unable to submit the same version to the Doctoral Symposium, and vice versa.
*Please note, you do not have to submit a paper or poster in order to attend the BAM2025 Doctoral Symposium.
