We invite nominations from faculty at business schools in Europe for their doctoral students to participate in the SEI Doctoral Consortium to be held on Friday, September 19th – Saturday, September 20th, at Stockholm School of Economics. The consortium seeks to bring together a select group of doctoral students doing research in the areas of Strategy, Entrepreneurship and/or Innovation. The workshop will start with an informal dinner on Thursday, September 18th and end on Saturday, September 20th after lunch.

About the SEI Doctoral Consortium: The SEI Consortium is an initiative of faculty from Europe's leading business schools, to help advance the research frontier and stimulate the academic labour market. To this end, it supports an annual Faculty Workshop and a Doctoral Consortium. The SEI Doctoral Consortium provides doctoral students at universities in Europe with a unique opportunity to present their dissertation-stage research to, and receive developmental feedback from leading strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship scholars, including the editors of many of the top journals in the field. Ample informal mentoring and networking opportunities will be provided outside the formal student presentations, including coffee breaks, lunches, and dinners.
Selection process: Nominations should be made by the faculty (rather than the student) and should be coordinated at the institution level. Since the consortium is designed to help students develop their research, we prefer nominees whose research is beyond the thesis proposal stage. A selection committee will evaluate all nominees, and only a select group of Ph.D. students will be invited to attend. Priority will be given to students who have not presented at a previous SEI consortium and students whose thesis advisor commits to participate in the event. All participants are expected to be based in Europe. We strive for diversity in institutions, participants, and research topics.
To nominate, the following information is requested:
-
Doctoral student name and affiliation
-
Advisor's name and affiliation
-
The stage that the student has reached in the doctoral program
-
Confirmation that the student has not presented previously at the SEI Consortium
-
Confirmation that the advisor will commit to participate in the event
-
The rank of the nominated student in your institution's nomination list, if more than one student is being nominated from your institution
-
An up-to-date CV of the nominee
Schedule: The deadline for the submission of nominations is May 1st, 2025. Submissions should be made online using the link below. We aim to inform accepted Ph.D. students by mid June 2025.
Transportation, lodging, and meals: The hosting institution will reimburse the cost of transportation within the limit of our budget, such as flights (economy) and arrange the accommodation (two nights stay) for all invited Ph.D. students. There is no registration fee for the workshop.
We look forward to seeing you in Stockholm this September ✨
