As COVID-19 continues to introduce challenges to our society, economies and institutions, EIASM together with the IPDMC 2020 Local Organising Committee, the Conference Chair and Vice-Chair and the Board have engaged intensively over the past week. Even if the current lockdowns and travel bans are lifted before early June, it is difficult to see how academic travel will be back to normal at that time. The clear commitment emerging from our discussions has been to maintain our community of research-active faculty and students as we deal with the COVID-19 crisis. In particular, we recognise that the careers of younger faculty and Ph.D. students may suffer if all academic conferences are cancelled or significantly postponed in 2020. So, we have decided to
The 27th Innovation and Product Development Management Conference (IPDMC) will be held from the reception and registration on Sunday June 7th to Tuesday, June 9th, 2020, at Campus Carolus, KU Leuven, Antwerp, Belgium. The associated doctoral workshop will take place on Saturday and Sunday June 6th-7th, 2020. Antwerp as a city has a lot to offer in terms of culture, arts and leisure. We plan to organize a number of socio-cultural events as well as small scale research meetings during the weekend (June 6 & 7) for early travellers/arrivals. IPDMC has established itself as the leading annual international conference in the domain of innovation management and new product development. Papers presented at the meeting come from multiple disciplines. Closely related fields such as technology management, entrepreneurship, marketing of innovation, creativity, and design are significant parts of the programme. The conference has become the focus of important networking among innovation and product development management researchers, for PhD students and junior faculty as well as senior faculty. It is the annual event for researchers in the field and serves as the annual meeting of a virtual society with participants enjoying coming back to meet colleagues. The ambiance is known as friendly and supportive.

Earlier he received a VIDI-award (2008), for studying human enhancement technologies and the blurring boundaries between humans and technologies, and a VENI-award (2004), for studying the moral significance of technology, and its implications for design. From 2010 until 2012 he held the Socrates chair of philosophy at Delft University of Technology; in 2006 he was guest professor of philosophy of technology at Aarhus University, Denmark.
The following themes are indicative of the research topics and tracks to which papers have been submitted :
FORMAT OF THE SESSIONS : Regular Sessions (of one hour and a half) will consist of three papers. Each paper presentation (15 minutes) will be followed by a 5 minutes discussion and a 10 minutes plenary Q&A. So besides presenting your own paper, each presenter is expected to contribute to the discussion of one of the other papers in the session. Roundtable panels with well-known and well established researchers, practitioners and journal editors will debate trends in the field both regarding issues and research approaches. Conference participants will be invited to participate in the panel debates with comments and questions. Thematic Sessions - In thematic sessions a number of speakers discuss a common topic or theme in a manner that brings new insights to the subject.
If you are interested in presenting a paper at the conference, please submit your extended abstract (about 500 words) - (see template to fill in and upload) November 17, 2019 (extended deadline) All abstracts are reviewed using a double blind review process. It is COMPULSORY that neither your name nor your contact details appear on the submission (the authors are recognized in the system via their login). Click HERE to download the template to be used.
When submitting a proposal for a thematic session, the following guidelines apply:
►Objectives and theoretical and practical relevance As proposals for thematic sessions will be reviewed as a whole, only one PDF can be uploaded (containing title page, relevance and all constituting paper contributions). In case you want to submit a proposal for the Thematic Sessions, make sure that : ⇒ you have a profile in the EIASM system (if not, please create it HERE) ⇒ prepare your proposal in pdf and upload it HERE
As part of the continuing development of IPDMC as a forum for development and diffusion of new research, we are introducing a Poster Session for IPDMC 2020. So, perhaps you were not able to respond to the original Call for Papers (now closed). If so, please consider submitting a poster for presentation at the conference. It may give you that extra opportunity to present and discuss your ongoing and emerging research. For this first Poster Session, IPDMC plans to recognise the Best Poster with a special award. - The submission deadline is now over -
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, 2019. 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. 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 online proceedings. The theoretical base must be clear, with explicit references to the already-existing research in the field.

The IPDM Conference is a unique opportunity for researchers of different backgrounds, but with a common interest in management of innovation and product and service design and development, to present cutting edge research and exchange views. The conference provides ample opportunities for both formal and informal discussions of the work presented, as well as for discussions about future international and interdisciplinary research co-operation. The primary focus of the conference is on empirical research and managerial issues, although very high quality papers developing substantive theory in other associated aspects of policy, practice and society are also welcomed. Regardless of the type of paper, the theoretical base must be made clear, and references to the extant research in the field must be made explicit.

IPDMC is offering its first professional development workshop at the 2020 online conference. The workshop Telling the Story and Showing the Evidence will be interactive and it will expand on the material covered in recent studies (Goffin et al, 2019; Perks and Roberts, 2013). As case study research is an appropriate methodology in many innovation studies, the workshop aims to give researchers new perspectives about when and how to apply this methodology. Participation in this professional development workshop is free of charge to registered Conference participants.
Doctoral Workshop Chairpersons: The Doctoral Workshop is an important and integral part of the IPDMC conference, which has been running successfully for over 10 years. In 2020, it will start on Saturday June 6th at noon, with a light lunch, and will continue through Sunday, June 7th, 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. In addition, DBA researchers are welcome and the extra challenges of their type of research will be discussed. The workshop is very interactive and it gives small groups of students (typically 3) several hours of intensive discussion about their research with a senior faculty member. Plenary sessions will be focused on general topics of interest to PhD students, such as: identifying interesting and researchable topics, publishing your research, PhDs ‘by publications’, case study research, and managing your academic career. 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 preparing questions on their work; and some pre-course reading from textbook(s) and/or research articles. Upon successful completion of the seminar (full attendance), the participants will be given a certificate and granted 2 ECTS. There is an extra fee of 100€ for participating in the Doctoral Seminar, and registration to the IPDMC is compulsory.
