Writing Retreat
for MOC PhD Students on July 30th, 2025
Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers
Are you attending the AOM conference in Copenhagen? Do you want to meet and work with other MOC PhDs directly after the conference? Do you need time away from your everyday life to concentrate on a writing task? Are you struggling to finish that abstract, paper, proposal? Do you want to follow up on the feedback you received at the conference, before you forget?
This writing retreat might just be the ticket. The MOC 1-day writing retreat for PhD students at the Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers Hotel (very close to the AOM conference venue) offers quiet time away to immerse yourself in the writing process, plus a supportive group of other PhDs and a small group of senior scholars to cheer you along. All this at a modern and comfortable hotel directly served by train and metro, right next to the AOM conference venue, and only one stop from Copenhagen Airport.
The objective of the writing retreat is (1) to support PhDs in their article writing, providing them with a structured time and space to advance their writing, and (2) to give the PhDs some inspiration and tips and tricks regarding academic writing processes, and (3) to provide the opportunity for MOC PhDs to meet, socialize, share experiences, and share information about their respective projects.
Cost: Thanks to a generous grant from the Managerial and Organizational Cognition division of the Academy of Management, this event is free, including a light breakfast, coffee breaks, and lunch. Your home university must cover any other costs, such as travel and accommodation.
Preparation: Decide what kind of a writing task you want to work on at the retreat. It could be an article, a proposal, a conference abstract, a results section, a book chapter, or something different. Read and prepare as much as possible beforehand so that you are ready to write on your task when you join the retreat. Remember laptop, charger, and anything else you need for a productive writing session.
Contact: If you have questions feel free to contact organizer Prof. Kristian J. Sund, Roskilde University ( sund@ruc.dk ). This event is organized with generous support from the Executive Committee and the MOC-UP group.
