Call for Incubator Sessions

General information

We invite proposals for incubator sessions, a type of session that provides an alternative platform for discussion and exchange on a specific topic within the conference theme. Incubator sessions are usually 1.5 hours long and may include different formats such as debates, business games, or practical exercises. You can find some examples of incubator sessions from the EurOMA Sustainability Forum 2023 here. In this type of session, the proposing team develops, monitors, and organizes the session while receiving support from the organizing committee regarding logistics and time schedules.

Proposals for the incubator sessions should include:

  1. The session title and the relevance of the topic for the conference theme.
  2. The objectives and expected outcomes (this can be quite abstract).
  3. Estimate the duration (recommended: 1.5 hours).
  4. A list of session organizers, including one primary contact person who will communicate with the organizing committee.

The responsible person will communicate the details to the organizing committee and be available to share information concerning the management of the session. To provide multiple perspectives, we encourage team diversity (e.g., different institutions and countries) and multi-disciplinary approaches for these sessions.

Format and submission

Format: A maximum of two pages, including the details mentioned above.

Submission: Please send your proposal for the incubator session to: euroma_sustainability@the-klu.org.
