Complete Details

The ISPIM Junior Researcher Lab is a specialized event dedicated to the next generation of innovation scholars. Hosted at the University of Manchester, this lab provides a nurturing yet rigorous environment for PhD students and early-career researchers to present their work-in-progress to a panel of senior ISPIM mentors. The event is structured to provide maximum feedback on research methodologies, data collection techniques, and the practical impact of academic findings. Innovation management is a field that thrives on fresh perspectives, and this lab is where those perspectives are refined into high-impact publications.

In addition to peer reviews, the event includes dedicated seminars on the "Art of Publishing," where editors from leading innovation journals share secrets on what makes a manuscript stand out. Participants will learn how to navigate the complex world of academic networking and how to build a personal brand within the ISPIM community. The lab also emphasizes the importance of "Impact-Driven Research," encouraging scholars to look beyond citations and consider how their work can influence public policy or corporate strategy. The day is designed to be highly social, with coffee breaks and a dedicated "Research Speed-Dating" session to find potential co-authors for future ISPIM conferences.

Key Event Highlights

One-on-one mentoring sessions with senior editors of top innovation journals. Peer-to-peer feedback circles on PhD thesis topics and methodologies. Professional development seminar on academic branding and networking. Interactive session on "Bridging the Gap" between research and industry. Access to the ISPIM global researcher database for future collaborations.
