Expressions of Interest to Organise the EURAM Annual Conference in 2027 or 2028

The Annual Conference is the main event of the academy where our members meet and exchange. EURAM Conferences are growing and can attract up to 2,000 delegates from Europe and beyond.

The Conference gives an opportunity to scholars, PhDs or more senior ones, to present their latest research and receive feedback. Other events allow them to network with like-minded colleagues in one or more of the 13 existing Strategic Interest Groups.  There are also all-academy events and time for social activities.

EURAM has been to a variety of countries and continues to explore Europe and beyond to develop existing and new communities.

Environmental and Social Sustainability

EURAM pays particular attention to environmental and social sustainability practices when organising events. The considerations below should be taken into account by the local organisers:

  • Environmental-friendly Mindset

✓ Travel impact assessment:  an estimate of expected CO₂ emissions from delegate travel (average flight/train routes of likely attendees) should be provided.

✓ Food waste and material reduction strategy: a plan including catering choices (buffet size, donation partners, composting options) and single-use material reduction should be made.

✓ Hybrid/Remote participation: plenaries should be streamed and at least 20% of accepted research sessions should allow hybrid/remote contributions.

✓ Eco-friendly accommodation: establish partnerships with hotels certified by internationally recognised eco-labels (e.g., Green Key, EU Ecolabel).

✓ Environmental legacy gift: commitment to an environmental contribution, such as financing tree planting, renewable projects, or local biodiversity protection.

  • Social Sustainability

✓ Wellbeing, health, and safety: all venues must meet accessibility standards and include wellness aspects such as healthy catering, quiet rooms, and medical assistance.

✓ Community engagement: each conference must include a partnership or outreach activity with local NGOs, schools, or community groups, beyond the academic circle.

✓ Diversity and inclusion: explicit targets should be developed for gender and regional diversity among plenary speakers.

The EECC stands as a cornerstone event within the academy, providing a gathering point for emerging management scholars to advance their careers and gain valuable experience.

Held annually around March, the colloquium attracts approximately 30-40 early career scholars and 10-15 senior academics from Europe and beyond.

Participants at the colloquium have the chance to present their latest research and receive comprehensive feedback from peers and dedicated mentors. Through carefully planned events, attendees can network with like-minded colleagues, explore avenues for career advancement, and draw upon the insights of distinguished professors who serve as mentors and career advisors. These interactions unfold within both academic and informal social settings, fostering a holistic experience.
