The European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM) and the European Marketing Academy (EMAC) in collaboration with the University of Valencia, are organising the 27th Colloquium for doctoral students in marketing. The colloquium will be held in Valencia, Spain from Sunday, June 1 until Tuesday, June 3, 2014, immediately prior to the EMAC Conference 2014.

The colloquium provides outstanding doctoral students in marketing who want to pursue a career in academics with an opportunity to discuss their dissertation research with other doctoral students and leading academics in the field of marketing. All topics and methodological approaches within the broad field of marketing will be considered.

The colloquium will mostly proceed in parallel tracks based on the topical and/or methodological angle of participants' work as well as on the stage of the dissertation process. Students will discuss their work with their fellow students and with three track faculty, who are renowned experts in the field. Doctoral students in different stages of their dissertation process can apply for participation in the doctoral colloquium.

The doctoral colloquium will be held in a collaborative, open and friendly atmosphere. In respect to this philosophy, participants are required to attend the entire colloquium. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance.

The deadline for submission is January 24, 2014.

Candidates should submit an abstract of the (planned) doctoral research, outlining the research problem against the existing literature, discussing the methodology and showing some initial empirical results (if applicable).

Abstracts must not be longer than:
  - 5 pages in total in the beginners' tracks ( cover / title page, references, tables, figures if any included in the maximum number of pages mentioned here).  
  - 7 pages in total in the advanced tracks ( cover / title page, references, tables, figures if any included in the maximum number of pages mentioned here).  
Please note that the name of the candidate and of the thesis advisor(s) (if already known) and contact details should appear on the first page of the abstract.

In the submission process, candidates will also be asked to give some information about their vitae, following a specific format (the template to be used can be downloaded here). On this form, students should also indicate whether they apply for the intermediate/advanced or for the beginners’ track based on the stage of their dissertation process. In addition, they should indicate one or more of the following areas as the main focus of their research:

- CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
- MARKETING MIX INSTRUMENTS
- STRATEGY & INTERNET

Please pay attention to select the correct track when submitting! Specifically, do *not* simply use 'consumer behavior' as a default category.

The submissions will be evaluated by the chair-person and co-chairs of the Doctoral Colloquium.

The admitted proposals in each track will be made available to all participants in the corresponding track to allow everyone to prepare for the discussions.

Submission deadline: 24 January 2014
Notification: as of 10 March 2014

The Colloquium fee is 260 Eur and it includes:
