The European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM) and the European Marketing Academy (EMAC) in collaboration with Audencia School of Management, are organising the 22nd Colloquium for doctoral students in marketing. The colloquium will be held in Nantes, France from Sunday, May 24 until Tuesday, May 26, 2009, immediately prior to the EMAC Conference 2009.
The colloquium provides outstanding doctoral students in marketing who want to pursue a career in academics with an opportunity to discuss their dissertation research with other doctoral students and leading academics in the field of marketing. All topics and methodological approaches within the broad field of marketing will be considered.
The colloquium will mostly proceed in parallel tracks based on the topical and/or methodological angle of participants' work as well as on the stage of the dissertation process. Students will discuss their work with their fellow students and with three track faculty, who are renowned experts in the field.
Doctoral students in different stages of their dissertation process can apply for participation in the doctoral colloquium.
There will be:

• Three tracks for students in an intermediate or advanced stage of their dissertation process. Students in these tracks should have a good knowledge of the literature in their domain of study and clear research questions. They should be in the process of starting the data collection or have already finished this. Students in these tracks will have 90 minutes to present and discuss their dissertation work. They can benefit from the colloquium by subjecting the positioning of their research to a critical review, refining their data collection approach, and/or receiving suggestions for translating their work into papers that can be submitted to excellent journals.

The 3 tracks are the following:

- MARKETING THEORY AND MANAGEMENT
- CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
- MARKETING MODELS AND METHODS 

• Three tracks for students in an early stage of their dissertation process. Students in these tracks should have a (tentative) proposal for the topic they want to study, the method they want to use, and the potential contribution. They will have 60 minutes to present and discuss their dissertation work, and will receive suggestions on how to focus and position their work. In addition there will be faculty presentations designed to help students plan and manage their dissertation process.
The 3 tracks are the following:

- MARKETING THEORY AND MANAGEMENT
- CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
- MARKETING MODELS AND METHODS

The doctoral colloquium will be held in a collaborative, open and friendly atmosphere. In respect to this philosophy, participants are required to attend the entire colloquium. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance.

The deadline for submission is January 26, 2009.

Candidates should submit an abstract of the (planned) doctoral research, outlining the research problem against the existing literature, discussing the methodology and showing some initial empirical results (if applicable).
Abstracts should be no longer than 3 pages (plus figures, tables, and references).
Please note that the name of the candidate and of the thesis advisor(s) (if already known) and contact details should appear on the abstract.

In the submission process, candidates will also be asked to give some information about their vitae, following a specific format (the template to be used can be downloaded here). On this form, students should also indicate whether they apply for the intermediate/advanced or for the beginners’ track based on the stage of their dissertation process. In addition, they should indicate one of the following areas as the main focus of their research:

- MARKETING THEORY AND MANAGEMENT
- CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
- MARKETING MODELS AND METHODS 

The submissions will be evaluated by the chair-person and co-chairs of the doctoral colloquium.

The admitted proposals in each track will be made available to all participants in the corresponding track to allow everyone to prepare for the discussions.

The submission deadline is over (January 26, 2009).

The Doctoral Colloquium will take place at Audencia School of Management, Nantes, France.

There are no hotels close to Audencia. It  is about 15 minutes from the city centre and is easily accessible by public transport.
Hence we would recommend that you book a room in a hotel in the city centre: with the tramway line 2 (which is a direct line to Audencia – It takes about 15 mn (at rush hours, there's a tramway every 3 minutes).
We can recommend the Jules Verne hotel (3-star hotel), which is both very close to the tramway line 2.
