We would like to invite submissions for the IMP 2006 Doctoral Consortium, that

will bring together promising Ph.D. projects and affirmed researchers from the

IMP Group.



The Doctoral Consortium will take place at Bocconi University, Milan, on 5-6

September 2006. The benefits that students will get out of participating in

the consortiums are the following:

- Detailed comments on their research proposal, thesis outline, or other paper

on their research;

- Insight into the approach taken by other students;

- Further insights into concepts, theories and methods applied within the

areas of industrial networks and inter-organizational relationships, based on

interaction with leading scholars from the field;

- Networking opportunities with faculty;

- Networking opportunities with fellow students.



The deadline for submissions is January 14, 2006. Further information about

the doctoral consortium can be found on the website (www.imp2006.org).

We look forward to receiving your contributions!
