The 27th Innovation and Product Development Management Conference (IPDMC) will be held from the reception and registration on Sunday June 7th to Tuesday, June 9th, 2020, at Campus Carolus, KU Leuven, Antwerp, Belgium. The associated doctoral workshop will take place on Saturday and Sunday June 6th-7th, 2020. Antwerp as a city has a lot to offer in terms of culture, arts and leisure. We plan to organize a number of socio-cultural events as well as small scale research meetings during the weekend (June 6 & 7) for early travellers/arrivals. IPDMC has established itself as the leading annual international conference in the domain of innovation management and new product development. Papers presented at the meeting come from multiple disciplines. Closely related fields such as technology management, entrepreneurship, marketing of innovation, creativity, and design are significant parts of the programme. The conference has become the focus of important networking among innovation and product development management researchers, for PhD students and junior faculty as well as senior faculty. It is the annual event for researchers in the field and serves as the annual meeting of a virtual society with participants enjoying coming back to meet colleagues. The ambiance is known as friendly and supportive.
The 2020 conference will continue to reflect the achievements, challenges and development of the field of Innovation and Product Development Management through academic paper presentations, challenge sessions, industry engagement, academic keynotes and roundtable discussions on key themes. The conference aims to provide all participants with opportunities to hear, think and contribute creatively to the continuing formation of our field. In 2020, we aim to cover a broad range of established and emerging topics relevant to innovation and product development (see below). In addition, we encourage and welcome contributions that address the broader relevance and impact of innovation, technology and product development on society and the environment. Throughout its history, IPDMC has accepted papers from a range of disciplines, including organisation studies, marketing, management, technology management, organisational psychology, creativity and design. The conference welcomes all authors who are interested in managerial, policy and social issues related to innovation and product/service development. This includes research on, but is not limited to, issues that are listed as the themes and areas for the conference below. After the Conference, the Conference Board and Scientific Committee will encourage selected authors to submit their papers for review to the Journal of Product Innovation Management or Creativity and Innovation Management.

From 2010 until 2012 he held the Socrates chair of philosophy at Delft University of Technology; in 2006 he was guest professor of philosophy of technology at Aarhus University, Denmark.
The following themes are indicative of the research topics and tracks to which papers have been submitted :
FORMAT OF THE SESSIONS : Regular Sessions (of one hour and a half) will consist of three papers. Each paper presentation (15 minutes) will be followed by a 5 minutes discussion and a 10 minutes plenary Q&A. So besides presenting your own paper, each presenter is expected to contribute to the discussion of one of the other papers in the session. Roundtable panels with well-known and well established researchers, practitioners and journal editors will debate trends in the field both regarding issues and research approaches. Conference participants will be invited to participate in the panel debates with comments and questions. Thematic Sessions - In thematic sessions a number of speakers discuss a common topic or theme in a manner that brings new insights to the subject.
The submission deadline is over

The goal of the review process is to select a number of papers that will stimulate discussion and the development and dissemination of new knowledge. Some papers will inevitably be more fully developed than others; however, it is hoped that each author will gain insights during the conference that will strengthen their own research and introduce them to other scholars who share their interests. Authors submit an extended abstract of about 500 words in length on/before November 4, 2019. This abstract should identify the central research question and theory base for the research, introduce the most important references and describe the methodology, empirical base, analysis, and results. Each abstract is evaluated by two or three members of the scientific committee. All are senior professors who are well positioned internationally in the field. Each abstract is evaluated using the following points :
The organising committee responds to the author(s) noting acceptance or rejection of the extended abstract. Feedback is provided in all cases. Some author(s) of accepted abstracts may be requested to address specific perceived shortcomings or omissions prior to submitting final papers. Author(s) of accepted abstracts are expected to submit final papers. Conference registration and participation by the author (or at least one co-author) is required for publication in the conference online proceedings. The theoretical base must be clear, with explicit references to the already-existing research in the field.

The IPDM Conference is a unique opportunity for researchers of different backgrounds, but with a common interest in management of innovation and product and service design and development, to present cutting edge research and exchange views. The conference provides ample opportunities for both formal and informal discussions of the work presented, as well as for discussions about future international and interdisciplinary research co-operation. The primary focus of the conference is on empirical research and managerial issues, although very high quality papers developing substantive theory in other associated aspects of policy, practice and society are also welcomed. Regardless of the type of paper, the theoretical base must be made clear, and references to the extant research in the field must be made explicit.
BACKGROUND IPDMC is a leading innovation management conference with unique, close links to two of the top journals in the field: Journal of Product Innovation Management (JPIM) and Creativity and Innovation Management (CIM). In 2020, IPDMC is expanding its developmental aspect by offering for the first time two workshops in parallel on Sunday June 07. ⇒ More Details on these Pre-Workshops will be available end of January. Development Workshop 1 Telling the Story and Showing the Evidence: How to Conduct Rigorous Case Study Research. This half-day workshop focuses on conducting high-quality case study research and publishing it in top journals. It expands on the recent study by Goffin et al (Journal of Product Innovation Management, 2019). As case study research is commonly-used in European universities, this is a highly relevant topic for an IPDMC ‘Development Workshop’.
Development Workshop 2 Delivering High Quality, Professional, and Constructive Reviews to Academic Peers Peer reviewing is an essential component of the academic research process. This half-day workshop is designed to provide an interactive experience for researchers to enhance their skill at delivering peer reviews. The workshop covers principles and practices of good reviewing.
Christer Karlsson Best Paper Award: The Conference Board will select one Best Paper out of the papers submitted. The author(s) will receive an award during the closing session of the conference.
The Conference Board will select one Best Student Paper out of the papers submitted where the main researcher and author is a PhD student. PhD students who submit should indicate their wish to be considered for this award. A condition of consideration for the Best Student Paper award is a statement from the primary supervisor confirming the registration status of the student and that the work is primarily that of the PhD student. The author(s) will receive an award during the closing session of the conference.
Doctoral Workshop Chairpersons: The Doctoral Workshop is an important and integral part of the IPDMC conference, which has been running successfully for over 10 years. In 2020, it will start on Saturday June 6th at noon, with a light lunch, and will continue through Sunday, June 7th, ending with lunch. To stimulate academic scholarship, discussions of ideas and dialogue among students and researchers from different countries in the field of INNOVATION AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT RESEARCH, we invite all doctoral students from these domains worldwide to attend this doctoral workshop. PhD students in early and middle stages of their PhD research project are particularly encouraged to participate and present their research proposals, preliminary results and their reflections on issues related to theory, methods and analysis. For students where their PhD dissertation is not planned as a monograph but as a series of articles on a common theme, then the candidate can present a part of her/his work. In addition, DBA researchers are welcome and the extra challenges of their type of research will be discussed. The workshop is very interactive and it gives small groups of students (typically 3) several hours of intensive discussion about their research with a senior faculty member. Plenary sessions will be focused on general topics of interest to PhD students, such as: identifying interesting and researchable topics, publishing your research, PhDs ‘by publications’, case study research, and managing your academic career. Students will be asked to fully prepare for the Doctoral workshop, including preparing a 10-20-page comprehensive description of their research (pdf); reading other students’ descriptions and preparing questions on their work; and some pre-course reading from textbook(s) and/or research articles. Upon successful completion of the seminar (full attendance), the participants will be given a certificate and granted 2 ECTS. There is an extra fee of 100€ for participating in the Doctoral Seminar, and registration to the IPDMC is compulsory.

Surprisingly different Antwerp has a lot of surprising highlights, such as The Antwerp Zoo is one of Europe’s oldest and most attractive city zoos. And a beach: St Anneke, on the Left Bank. Not only the beach is pretty unique for a city inland, the city also boasts a deep sea port 80 km inland. As you can see, Antwerp does everything that little bit differently. Enjoy the heights In the Antwerp skyline, the Cathedral of Our Lady takes pride of place: it is the highest church spire in the Low Lands and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Quite a feat for a building with just one finished spire. A little further up, MAS| Museum aan de Stroom stands out: in this Museum at the River, the most beautiful work of art may well be the view. From the 60-metre high roof top, you can admire the whole city. Culture and gastronomy revisited Beside the MAS, Antwerp offers many other special museums. In addition to their top collections, they all have that something extra: the Middelheim Museum is a park full of sculptures, in The Rubens House, you walk through a famous artist’s house and Plantin-Moretus was the world’s first museum to feature on the World Heritage List. Cradle of diamond and fashion People from Antwerp set the trend. This is evident from the many pop-ups and start-ups, and also in the fashion and diamond districts, of course. You will find more diamonds in the Diamond Square Mile – where international diamond hallmarks originate – than in the rest of the world. And peppered all over the city are dazzling shop windows full of attractive jewellery designs. XL range at an XS distance Locals proudly refer to their city as cosmopolitan with a village atmosphere: you can find everything here, but always within walking, or at least cycling, distance (for which the Antwerp city bikes are available). The city itself is also easy to reach. If you want a piece of advice: come by train. The majestic Antwerp Central railway station has won many beauty prizes … something that may dull the pain to some extent when the time comes to leave the city. https://www.visitantwerpen.be/en/home
