The European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM) and EMAC in collaboration with the University of Bath organise this 39th Colloquium for doctoral students in marketing.

The colloquium will be held at the University of Bath (Bath, UK) on May 31-June 2, 2026 prior to the EMAC Spring Conference 2026 ( June 2-5, 2026).

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.

It 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.
