• PRACTICALITIES

EDEN calls to everyone’s mind the garden of earthly delights to which the Book of Genesis refers. It evokes the attractive and creative environment that EIASM offers to young promising scholars who undertake the exciting doctoral adventure.
Through the creation of EDEN, EIASM will contribute to the most critical phases in a scholar’s life cycle : i.e. his/her introduction to and early growth on the academic market. Thanks to its unique image and its organizational competitive advantages (core of associations, autonomy and flexibility), EIASM can indeed be very efficient at :

• inserting young doctoral fellows into a highly stimulating system where European researchers can interact (within and across associations), sharing common objectives and concerns ;
• helping them in the positioning of their own work in relation to European research generally : expose them to various research traditions and orientations, open their minds to the international/global perspectives to be adopted when looking at the Management environment, make them aware of the challenges Management is facing in Europe (globalization, new technologies, etc.) ;
• creating a network of European educators active at the doctoral level in Management.

Programme Coordination:  Stefano ZAMBON, University of Ferrara, Italy

The idea is to alternate lectures from well-known professors and presentations by the students and young scholars on their research works so to get inputs and suggestions, in a friendly and collaborative environment.

The international Faculty that has agreed to be part of the event is:

Prof. Marco Di Tommaso, University of Ferrara
Prof. Baruch Lev, Stern Business School, New York University
Prof Giovanni Schiuma, University of Basilicata & Cranfield School of Management
Prof. Manfred Schwaiger, University of Munich
Prof. Stefano Zambon, University of Ferrara
 

As one of the most relevant research areas in accounting and management studies, the field of Intangibles and Intellectual Capital requires networking and research sharing activity in order to improve our knowledge and understanding of this complex and diversified subject. New scientific ideas, upcoming models, and practical experiences need to gather together to increase results’ soundness in an epistemological perspective.

The seminar will alternate lectures from well known professors and presentations by the students and young scholars on their research works so to get inputs and suggestions, in a friendly and collaborative environment.

TIME AND LOCATION
The Seminar will be held in Catania, Sicily (Italy).
The programme will start on September 27, 2010 and is scheduled to end October 2, 2010 On the evening of September 26 there will be the first get together at dinner.
The Seminar will be held jointly with the 6th INTERDISCIPLINARY WORKSHOP ON “INTANGIBLES, INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL & EXTRA-FINANCIAL INFORMATION”. Therefore, on the first three days of the week, students and young scholars will participate in the Seminar. On September 30  & Oct 1 the participants will join the Workshop, which is held at the same location. On October 2 the students and young scholars will have a concluding half a day on the Seminar with their presentations.


PARTICIPATION FEE
The participation fee is 1500 €. This fee includes participation to the seminar, the documents, lodging and full board.
Doctoral students will be assigned rooms for two.

Should you wish a single room, an extra fee of 50 € per night will be charged to you.

Cancellations made before September 5, 2010 will be reimbursed with 10% deduction of the total fee. No reimbursement will be possible after this date.

EIASM SCHOLARSHIPS
The Institute offers a limited number of scholarships of 700 € each. Scholarships are strictly limited to students coming from an EIASM Institutional Member (the Academic Council). Allocation of the scholarships is entirely at the discretion of the European Institute.

APPLICATIONS
Interested doctoral students should register online (and add the required documents) no later than August 15, 2010. Besides doctoral students, other researchers may participate. The number of participants will be limited to create a stimulating environment. The selection among the applicants will be conducted by the Institute’s Faculty. They will review the following documents which should necessarily complement each application form:

• the applicant’s curriculum vitae demonstrating his/her capabilities of doing research ;
• a letter of recommendation of his/her local faculty supporting the application ;
• a two-page description of his/her doctoral research, indicating the general objectives.

The maximum number of participants has been reached.
