THE 2ND ANNUAL AIB SUSTAINABILITY SHARED INTEREST GROUP
PHD AND EARLY CAREER RESEARCHERS VIRTUAL SYMPOSIUM
See event pages: https://www.aib.world/event/aib-sustainability-sig-phd-and-early-career-researchers-virtual-symposium/
Aims of the Symposium
Sustainability has now become a top priority for international business (IB) practitioners and researchers alike. The Sustainability Shared Interest Group (SIG) of the Academy of
International Business (AIB) has been leading and supporting this development in IB research.
Since the SIG’s official launch in 2020, the AIB Sustainability SIG has concentrated its efforts in providing a platform for IB researchers. While the sustainability topic is relevant
and appealing to researchers of all academic standing, there is a continuing, growing interest among PhD and early career researchers. The Sustainability SIG has organized the 2nd annual symposium for current PhD and early career (within 5 years) researchers
to provide a platform for discussion, exchange, and feedback for the doctoral student community interested in sustainability and IB.
The event is virtual and includes (1) a panel discussion with Q&A, (2) a breakout room session for participants who are grouped based on topic relevance to share and discuss their
research. The event will take place on 18 January, 2023 (exact time will be included in the acceptance email).
To participate in the AIB sustainability SIG symposium, please submit an extended abstract (maximum 1 page, excluding references) of your current research project on sustainability,
by 30 November 2022. Topics can fall into research fields such as the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals in IB, sustainability in emerging economics, circular and sharing economy, sustainability issues related to innovation, the global value chain, and
other topics on sustainability in international business research. Abstracts should be submitted to [log in to unmask] with
the subject line ‘2nd Annual SIG symposium’. The event will take place online and open to all current AIB members (including PhD members).
