The Consortium offers structured and informal discussion between participants and faculty panelists on research, job opportunities, publishing, and early-stage career strategies.

This is an excellent opportunity to receive valuable feedback on your work, as well as a chance to network and get to know your fellow doctoral students and leading scholars in the International Management field. Participants will also be invited to a “Meet-the-Editors” session later on the same day.
