2^nd EMAC Junior Faculty & Doctoral Student Research Camp

The 2nd EMAC Junior Faculty & Doctoral Student Research Camp was a great success!

Like last year, this EMAC initiative – which specifically targets young researchers embarking on an academic career in marketing – proved to be highly successful, as evidenced by the invariably positive feedback obtained from participants both during and after the event. In particular, the informal and friendly atmosphere, the constructive nature of the feedback provided to presenters, and the excellent organizational arrangements (thank you Judith and Martina!) were very much appreciated by all who attended. Last but not least, all participants enjoyed spending some time in “the Best City in the World to Live” (Global Finance Magazine, 2015)!

The next EMAC Junior Faculty & Doctoral Student Research Camp is scheduled to take place during September 3-4, 2018 again at the University of Vienna (full details will soon be posted on our website). We are very much looking forward to receiving good applications from PhD students and young scholars.
