The Summer School is a valuable experience for anyone involved in doctoral work in the area of technology and innovation management. It provides a unique opportunity for doctoral students in technology management to learn from presentations of leading academics in the field and to meet colleagues with similar research interests. During the intensive one-week course, the participating students have the opportunity to discuss their research programs with senior professors and with other PhD students in interactive workshops, and to meet the editors of the journals R&D Management, and Creativity and Innovation Management. The European Doctoral Summer School was first organised by Professor Klaus Brockhoff at the University of Kiel in 1991. Since then the School has been held in different locations: Manchester Business School in the UK; Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, University of Twente, the Netherlands; Politecnico di Milano, Italy; WHU Otto Beisheim Graduate School of Management, Vallendar, Germany. Since 2000, the European Doctoral Summer School in Technology Management has been organised jointly with EIASM (see www.eiasm.be). The number of alumni from the Summer School now exceeds 300. A considerable number of Summer School alumni and tutors are still in touch with each other and play active roles in the field of Technology Management. Differences and similarities in technology management These differences and similarities help to understand and explain how technology management has to be interpreted and applied in different scientific and technological fields, in different industrial sectors, in companies with different sizes, in different countries, and for product and services with different characteristics. Despite the existence of a lot of literature and practitioners' experiences with regard about these issues, there is still much scope for further research. PhD students and professors participating in the Summer School will have opportunity to share their views, theories and empirical results on their own research focus and approaches and will therefore be able to consider how technology management differs - or does not differ - in a variety of situations.

Students will be selected according to the novelty and the quality of their research interests and by an indication that they will be able to benefit and learn effectively from their participation. Students should at least have finished their first PhD year in order to be eligible. They must show that they will be able to contribute to the event. Students will have their own one-hour session presenting their research to one of the tutors and the other participants (including discussion & feedback). For this, they are required to submit a short paper (minimum 5-10 pages, in English) describing their research topic, preliminary results and also addressing methodological issues and choices made. This paper will be circulated beforehand among all participants and read and commented on during the Summer School by one of the tutors and by other students. The number of participants will be limited to a maximum of 30 to create a stimulating environment. Interested doctoral students should apply on-line via www.eiasm.org no later than June 28th 2010 (new deadline) For further information on the program content and registration please contact Mrs. Arianna Biancani (a.biancani@sssup.it).
TIME AND LOCATION Cancellation made before July 30, 2010 will be reimbursed with 10% deduction of the total fee. No reimbursement will be possible after that date. SCHOLARSHIPS The application form should include: Acceptance decisions are based on your advancement in your PhD trajectory (showing from your CV), expected contribution and suitability of topic (showing from the paper).
