BALAS DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM

July 27-28^th, 2021

We cordially invite students from Business Doctoral programs to submit their dissertation proposals/ research for the BALAS Doctoral Colloquium that will be held online on July 27-28th

The Doctoral Colloquium is an opportunity to discuss your research goals, methods, and results at an early enough stage, and to receive useful guidance to improve the research effort. Students will also have the opportunity to obtain guidelines for publishing papers on prestigious journals and academic publications. Doctoral research at different levels of development (previous, ready for, and after doctoral proposal defense) can be sent. We expect students finishing their second year or at a later stage to submit their doctoral proposals and/or doctoral research.

The Doctoral Colloquium will also allow participants to interact among themselves and with members of an academic network like BALAS from the U.S., Hispanic America and other parts of the world. The program consists of two types of activities: discussion of research proposals and plenary sessions with key speakers. Call for Doctoral Proposals here.
