Doctoral Colloquium

The AIB UK & Ireland Chapter organises the doctoral colloquium for students pursing doctoral research in International Business. The doctoral colloquium is held in a collaborative, open and friendly atmosphere. Presenters can discuss their research with a panel of distinguished scholars in interactive sessions open to all conference delegates. Presenters receive oral and written feedback on their submissions and guidance on translating their doctoral work into papers. 

Doctoral students will also be invited to attend methods and career development workshops.

Doctoral students at different stages of the thesis process can apply for participation in the doctoral colloquium. There will be two streams, A and B, based on the stage of the student’s research.

• Stream A 'Advanced' is meant for students who have preliminary set of results, and
• Stream B 'Beginner' is meant for students who are still finalizing their dissertation proposals and methodology.

Submissions made to doctoral colloquium are considered for the following prizes:

• The Michael Z. Brooke Doctoral Prize (£200 and a certificate): awarded to the best doctoral paper.
• The Neil Hood and Stephen Young Prize (£200 and a certificate): awarded to the most original new work.

 
Please click here to download the call for papers and submission guidelines for the Doctoral Colloquium. 
 
Papers must be solely authored by the student. Joint papers, with the supervisor or any other co-author, will not be accepted. 
 
Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Papers submitted to the Main Conference cannot be submitted also to the Doctoral Colloquium.
