What is the EURAM Early Career Community (EECC)

Ever since the EECC was created, it has been called in many ways. Some refer to the EURAM Early Career Consortium, the Colloquium, others to the Community.

In fact, the EECC is all three, a consortium of young scholars who participated in previous events. Today there are over 220 junior scholars who have taken part in one of the six events dedicated to them.

The event itself is referred to as the colloquium. Junior scholars from those countries have successfully worked with their institutions and EURAM to attract their peers to focus on their own interests and issues.

Yet, the EECC is a community within the wider community of engaged management scholars of EURAM enjoying the networking opportunities and special events targeted to them when they participate in the Annual Conference.

Online Mentoring Scheme

In 2024, we launched the EECC Online Mentoring Scheme to support participants of the Early Career Colloquium beyond the event itself. The initiative connects early career scholars with more experienced academics for a series of informal online mentoring conversations throughout the year.

Mentoring pairs are encouraged to meet quarterly to discuss topics such as navigating the academic career path, balancing research, teaching and service, wellbeing and resilience in academia, and broader reflections on professional development. The focus is on open, supportive conversations rather than formal paper feedback.

Since its launch, the programme has already run two successful editions, creating valuable connections within the EECC community. Participants have highlighted the scheme as a very enriching experience that fosters learning, encouragement, and long-term academic relationships.

If you are an experienced scholar and would be interested in joining the scheme as a mentor for future editions, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please feel free to send us your CV and a short expression of interest: nicola.pellegrino@euram.academy or joanna.szulc@pg.edu.pl
