17th EURAM Early Career Colloquium

Future-proofing early academic careers: thriving with AI and beyond 

Toulouse School of Management – Toulouse Capitole University

Are you an early career academic looking for sharing your research and developing collaboration opportunities in a vibrant environment of peers, senior mentors, and the EURAM top management team?

The European Academy of Management Early Career Community invites Postdocs, recently appointed Lecturers or Assistant Professors in management and cognate fields of research, to the seventeenth edition of the EURAM Early Career Colloquium (EECC),  March 2026.

The key objective of the colloquium is to offer a platform for early career management scholars.

This year, we will embrace the power of collective growth by fostering strong academic networks and creating valuable research opportunities for early career scholars. Through collaborative sessions and expert-led coaching, participants will gain insights and connections to advance their careers.

The event is a unique opportunity to gain face-to-face feedback on your research and your career trajectory from experienced scholars who have lived it.

This year’s colloquium promises to be an engaging and fun-filled event! Specific activities include

The 17th EURAM Early Career Colloquium will be hosted by Toulouse School of Management (TSM), part of Toulouse Capitole University, one of the oldest universities in Europe with a strong reputation in law, economics, and management.

TSM offers state-of-the-art education and research in management at all levels, from Bachelor to PhD, in a dynamic and international environment. With more than 3,000 students, 400 international students each year, 90 permanent faculty, and a vibrant doctoral community, TSM is strongly committed to academic excellence, research innovation, and societal impact. Its doctoral school (TSM DP)  and its research lab (TSM-R) constitute one of the leading management research hubs in France, offering world-class supervision, international exchanges, and strong ties with the business and academic communities.

Located in the heart of southwest France, Toulouse is known as 'La Ville Rose' (The Pink City) thanks to its unique terracotta architecture. It is the European capital of aerospace and home to Airbus, but also a city of culture, gastronomy, and student life. With over 120,000 students, Toulouse is one of the most vibrant university cities in France, blending tradition and modernity. Its historic center, lively markets, and culinary specialties (such as cassoulet and foie gras) offer participants an authentic French experience.
