Our Research Development Program (RDP) offers IFERA members the opportunity to engage in a developmental journey, promoting a portfolio of integrated and synergic initiatives which respond effectively to the diversity of needs expressed by members at different stages of career and professional development.
With this intent, the Research Development Program is articulated in three specific tracks: Doctoral Consortium, Summer School and Paper Development Workshop.
The 2022 Conference will feature a Doctoral Consortium and a Paper Development Workshop. To participate please check out the individual initiatives below.
The Summer School is not necessarily related to the conference, although participation to both is highly recommended.
An introduction to family business research with Introductory topics, inspiring talks, networking and mentoring. Special focus on early stage PhD students.
Targeted at anyone who would like to engage in a research retreat, to deepen their knowledge in family business research though theories and methods, improving writing skills, networking and mentoring. Special focus on mid-advanced stage PhD students and early faculty.
We assist researchers in the last stages of paper development to prepare their submissions to top journals, holding “How to publish” presentations, one-to-one discussions with Editors and Roundtable sessions.
The Research Development Program is not just a “once a year” appointment. It is the way in which IFERA aims to provide all members with a continuous cycle of developmental initiatives and resources throughout the year, especially far from our annual conference dates. Browse, read and watch.
