Dear EURAM friends,
As you are probably already aware, the next Annual Conference of the European Academy of Management will take place in Valencia (Spain) between the 4th and the 7th of June 2014. Let us remind you that the submission period will start in 1st December 2013 and will last till 16th January 2014.
You can learn about the topics being sponsored by the EURAM's Strategic Interest Groups (SIGs) at our website (click here), as well as about the Conference General Theme (click here).
The quality of the conference depends very much on the professional engagement of our reviewers. In order to work towards the matching of your competencies and the contents of the paper, we are now opening a Call for Volunteers and Reviewers for the Conference. We encourage you to sign up as a reviewer or volunteer for the EURAM Conference and provide details about your areas of expertise, as well as your preferred theoretical perspectives and methodologies.
This information will be of great value to improve the experience of reviewers and authors in the EURAM evaluation processes. By knowing your profile, our SIG and track chairs will be able to allocate the submitted papers to the most appropriate reviewers. This will make the reviewer's job easier and more satisfactory and will increase the likelihood for authors to receive constructive and useful feedback.
We advise you to sign up to review for a maximum two (2) SIGs. You may be asked to review up to three (3) submissions for each SIG that you select. The regular reviewing period will start at the end of January 2014 and will last till the end of February 2014.
You may also want to sign up as emergency reviewer or combine both regular and emergency reviews. The emergency reviewing period will take place at the end of February and early March 2014. In any case, the maximum number of reviews per SIG will be three (3).
Please note that even if you have reviewed in the past, you still need to sign up again for the 2014 conference. In addition to the reviewer role, you may also volunteer as Session Chair (competitive and paper development sessions), Discussant, or Mentor for Doctoral Students (in the Doctoral Colloquium that will be held in Valencia on the 2nd and 3rd of June, 2014).
The deadline for registering as a reviewer or as a volunteer is 10 January, 2014. At the end of the registration process the Conference Programme Committee will randomly choose a reviewer who will get a free registration for the Valencia conference. Moreover, the EURAM community and the Organising Committee will attribute public acknowledgments to the reviewers and volunteers involved in the process: the list of reviewers, session chairs, discussants and mentors will appear in the Conference Proceedings and in the official web page of the Conference (http://www.euram2014.org).
It will take you less than 10 minutes.
Thank you in advance for your valuable contribution!
We look forward to work with you in making EURAM 2014 a great success.
Best wishes,
On behalf of the Conference Programme Committee,
Alejandro Escribá-Esteve
