EIDP Track Information

Call for Extended Abstracts

The 4th Annual Postgraduate Conference invites submissions in the areas of Enterprise, Innovation, Development and Politics (EIDP) with a focus on Management, Marketing, Economics, Finance, and Politics. The goal of the EIDP track is to gather in the same place doctoral students, junior researchers, academics and practitioners in order to discuss current topics that are of relevance and significance for international competitiveness and increased regional development and convergence in the South-Eastern Europe. More specifically authors will receive personalised feedback and participate in workshops/seminars to enhance their research.

Review Process

Participants are asked to submit an extended abstract (500-1000 words). All submitted abstracts will undergo a double peer-review process by members of the Scientific Committee based on the following criteria:

  • Relevance to the conference topic
  • Theoretical argument and research aims
  • Research method and design
  • Potential findings
  • General conclusions

Presentation & Participation

Authors of accepted extended abstracts will be invited to present their work at the conference in the form of roundtable discussions. In the round table discussions authors working in similar subject areas will present their work in front of a small panel consisting of academics with significant research expertise and experience in the relevant area as well as doctoral students working in the same or very similar area.
