The 2018 conference is the 25th conference and will mark this special occasion with something extra for participants. In addition to the established annual conference format, this anniversary event will look forward, reflect on achievements and challenge the continuing development of the field of Innovation and Product Development Management through industry enagement, academic keynotes and thematic panels . Combined with the presentation of accepted papers, the conference should provide new opportunities to hear, think and contribute creatively to the continuing formation of our field. Hence the 2018 conference does not have a specific functional or issue specific theme. This to facilitate the inclusive nature of the conference and the community of innovation and new product/service development researchers and practitioners who participate. Submissions covering leading edge topics and new trends are, as always, welcome. Throughout its history, IPDMC has accepted papers from a range of disciplines, including organisation studies, marketing, management, technology management, organisational psychology, creativity and design. The conference welcomes all authors who are interested in managerial issues related to innovation and product/service development. This includes research on, but is not limited to, issues that are listed as the themes and areas for the conference below.
The Faculty of Engineering (FEUP) is the largest faculty of the University of Porto. The University of Porto,with over 35000 students, is second largest university in Portugal. The origin of FEUP dates back to the creation of the Nautic School in 1762 and its present designation exists since 1926. Engineering undergraduate courses started to be taught at Polytechnic Academy in 1837. Its current designation was adopted in 1926, having occupied the former facilities at Rua dos Bragas after 1937. FEUP has new facilities since 2000 at the outskirts of the city. The Faculty premises occupies 90 000 sq. meters of buildings. The Faculty has at the moment around 7000 students and 800 postgraduate (400 PhD students) served by a teaching staff of more than 440 faculty . FEUP offers integrated masters and doctoral programs in civil, electrical, mechanical, environmental, computer and information systems, materials, mines, chemical and management and industrial t engineering, bioengineering
The following are the themes under which research can be presented, in alphabetical order: ►Bottom of the pyramid, BOP, Innovation
Along with ordinary sessions with 20 minutes presentations and 10 minutes discussions of papers, participants are invited to choose to participate in ‘Challenge sessions’. Challenge sessions differ from traditional conference sessions in that in addition to presentating his/her own work, each presenting author reviews one of the other papers presented in the session. Following each 20 minutes presentation, the designated reviewer discusses the paper and asks questions for 5 minutes. The reviewer can prepare one PowerPoint slide to summarize his/her main points or issues. Challenge sessions end with 5 minutes of discussion with the session chair and audience. Challenge sessions provide the opportunity to receive additional comprehensive feedback on manuscripts and presentations. The abstract submission system gives authors the possibility to opt in to have their paper presented in a challenge session. Opting in allows authors to signal their interest in presenting under this format, but is not guaranteed. Keynote presenters will give inspiration and insight for research from practical experiences of innovation and product development management at companies in different industries and locations.

The goal of the review process is to select a number of papers that will stimulate discussion and the development and dissemination of new knowledge. Some papers will inevitably be more fully developed than others; however, it is hoped that each author will gain insights during the conference that will strengthen their own research and introduce them to other scholars who share their interests. Authors submit an extended abstract of about 500 words in length on/before November 4, 2017. This abstract should identify the central research question and theory base for the research, introduce the most important references and describe the methodology, empirical base, analysis, and results. The review process examines over 300 submissions each year. Each abstract is evaluated by two or three members of the scientific committee. All are senior professors who are well positioned internationally in the field. Each abstract is evaluated using the following points :
The organising committee responds to the author(s) noting acceptance or rejection of the extended abstract. Feedback is provided in all cases. Some author(s) of accepted abstracts may be requested to address specific perceived shortcomings or omissions prior to submitting final papers. Author(s) of accepted abstracts are expected to submit final papers. Conference registration and participation by the author (or at least one co-author) is required for publication in the conference proceedings (USB key).
Christer Karlsson Best Paper Award: The Conference Board will select one Best Paper out of the papers submitted. The author(s) will receive an award during the closing session of the conference.

The Doctoral Workshop is an integrated part of the IPDMC conference (since Hamburg in 2008). It will start on Saturday June 9 at noon, with a light lunch, and will continue through Sunday, June 10, ending with lunch. To stimulate academic scholarship, discussions of ideas and dialogue among students and researchers from different countries in the field of INNOVATION AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT RESEARCH, we invite all doctoral students from these domains worldwide to attend this doctoral workshop. PhD students in early and middle stages of their PhD research project are particularly encouraged to participate and present their research proposals, preliminary results and their reflections on issues related to theory, methods and analysis. For students where their PhD dissertation is not planned as a monograph but as a series of articles on a common theme, then the candidate can present a part of her/his work. Students will be asked to fully prepare for the Doctoral workshop, including preparing a 10-20-page comprehensive description of their research (pdf); reading other students’ descriptions; and some pre-course reading from textbook(s). Upon successful completion of the seminar (full attendance), the participants will be given a certificate and granted 2 ECTS. The number of participants is limited to 28 Ph.D. students and those that have attended in previous years have found the workshop to be very rewarding. The submission deadline is OVER Chairs : John K.

Founded in 1290 by King Dinis in Lisbon, it was permanently settled in Coimbra in 1537, by order of King João III, after a period of migration between these two cities. All Faculties of the University of Coimbra - Theology, Canons, Law and Medicine – began their work in 1544 at the Royal Palace of the “Alcaçova”, later the Palace of Schools.
The Baroque Library The Prison The Baroque Library, built between 1717 and 1728, it is one of the exponents of the Baroque Portuguese and one of the richest European libraries. Will be known as Baroque Library in honor and memory of King John V (1707-1750), who sponsored its construction and whose portrait, made by Domenico Duprà (1725), dominates the space.
