DRUID-DIME Academy Winter Conference 2010
for doctoral students in
INNOVATION, KNOWLEDGE AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Hotel Comwell Rebild Bakker, Aalborg, Denmark
January 21 at 3 pm – January 23 at 3 pm
The conference is open for all PhD students working within the broad field of economics and management of innovation and organizational change. We invite papers aiming at enhancing our understanding of the dynamics of technological, structural and institutional change at the level of firms, industries, regions and nations. DRUID is the node for an open international network - new partners are always of interest (we of course encourage DRUID Academy PhD students and students connected to the DIMETIC PhD program to submit an abstract as well). Do not hesitate to apply even if you have not been in contact with DRUID previously.
The conference is organized by the DRUID Academy for Doctoral Education and Training in collaboration with the EU 6th Framework Network of Excellence DIME Consortium (Dynamics of Institution and Markets in Europe).
The main emphasis is on PhD presentations. Each PhD student paper will be assigned to a “junior” (a fellow PhD student) and to a senior discussant (from DRUID faculty or invited guests). There will also be a series of keynote speakers in the program. The details of the program, titles of keynote presentations etc. will be continuously updated at the DRUID homepage.
Submission
All doctoral students who wish to present a paper at the DRUID-DIME Academy Winter 2010 Conference must submit an one-page abstract (no more, no less, no tables or graphs, a few key references are allowed on page two) before the deadline of November 2, 2009 (Twelve noon, Central European Time) through the conference website www.druid.dk/winter2010. (Submission site opens on September 21, 2009.
Guidelines
The abstract should start with the title of your submission, followed by your name, affiliation, year of enrolment, expected final date, and e-mail address. This information is to come before the body of the abstract, which should be written in plain text (that is, without bullet-points or other special codes). The abstract should focus on your own contribution, not on what the existing literature has said. A few lines reviewing the existing literature is helpful, but only to position your contribution in the context of that literature. The abstract should mirror the full paper and should: 1) briefly describe the existing state-of-the-art; 2) explain the research gap that you are trying to fill; 3) give your main theoretical arguments; 4) spell out our method (and data, if an empirical paper); and 5) present your results. Submission of an abstract gives the organizers permission to disseminate it and the accompanying paper electronically or place it on the website. We reserve the right to reject abstracts, which do not comply with the above requirements.
Conference fee
Each participant will be charged a fee of Euro 350. The fee, DIME and the DRUID Academy will cover the expenses during the DRUID-DIME Winter Conference regarding the hotel and food from Thursday January 21 after lunch until Saturday January 23, lunch included. As our resources for financial support are limited, we strongly encourage you to seek local finance for your costs. In case you cannot find local finance, you can apply for support by the DRUID Academy by sending an e-mail with information on why you need support to winter2010@druid.dk when you submit your abstract. Local co-finance would be helpful in the latter case.
