European International Business Academy (EIBA)
41st EIBA Annual Conference
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
December 1-3, 2015
Submission deadline: April 30, 2015
We are pleased to invite IB scholars and PhD students to submit papers to the
EIBA 2015 Conference, to be held at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) in Brazil,
December 1-3, 2015 (with post-conference events taking place on December 4-5, 2015).
The deadline for submissions,
April 30, 2015, is earlier than usual this year in order to allow EIBA 2015 delegates the benefits of greater flexibility and lower costs when making their travel arrangements.
The conference venue PUC-Rio is located in the middle of a rain forest, yet just a few minutes away from the famous beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon. The organizers have posted
special logistical info and instructions on the EIBA 2015 Rio website to assist delegates and facilitate commuting from the airport to hotels as well as to / from the conference venue.
The EIBA Annual Conference is famous for its enjoyable
gala dinner – with good food and drink being served throughout the EIBA award presentations, followed by music and dancing to cap off and celebrate the conference amongst colleagues and friends. In Rio de Janeiro, we will gladly continue the EIBA tradition
and hope to even surpass your expectations!
