Our ambition is to build
a mixed model for EURAM 2004. This is mixed in terms of specialist
tracks and general tracks and in terms of high quality, publishable
research and research that is in the process of development. Hence,
the academic programme will consist of three elements:
a) The specialist tracks
We received many strong
specialist track proposals for EURAM 2004 - many more than we
expected. We offer our thanks for all those who took the time
to provide material to us. We submitted all tracks to the Academic
Council for review and evaluation. The process took up a little
time and we are sorry to hold you in suspense. The purpose of
this competitive process was to raise the profile of EURAM as
an event for top quality research and ensure a balance of tracks
across the business and management portfolio.
b) The panels, workshops,
mini-tracks, round-table discussions etc.
Some of the specialist
track chairs suggested that their material would be presented
more effectively in a panel or workshop type session. In addition,
the Academic Council considered some submissions would also benefit
from a similar type of session. Hence, we have designed flexible
delivery mechanisms within EURAM 2004 to accommodate these requests.
c) The general tracks
We have received over
400 individual abstracts for consideration at EURAM 2004. These
will be reviewed and evaluated and the successful ones allocated
to the general tracks. Some of the successful ones may fit better
in the specialist tracks and they will be offered to the track
chairs where appropriate.
If you still have a late
submission and you think your paper fits one of the specialist
tracks, please send it directly to the track chair with a copy
to euram04@st-andrews.ac.uk
so we can track its progress.
