Home » Development » Doctoral Consortium
The Doctoral consortium is designed as interactive and educational events for doctoral students and junior faculty members developing and nurturing a career of scholarship in the family business field.
The doctoral consortium (DC) is open to any scholar interested in an introduction to family business research, especially doctoral students at late stages of their studies and scholars who are new to family business research.
It provides an opportunity to familiarize with the field, share the latest state of their research, learn from and get socialized via close interaction with their peers and experienced participating faculty.
Participants will have the opportunity to attend introductory sessions by renowned scholars and will benefit from feedback on their research thanks to the guidance of skilled facilitators who are experienced researchers in the field.
The Doctoral Consortium will take place the day before the start of the 2024 Annual Conference so on June 18, 2024.
The conference itself will take place at Nova SBE in Carcavelos, which is 20km from Lisbon. However, the Doctoral Consortium (DC) will be hosted by Catolica School of Business and Economics in Lisbon. We suggest that all delegates book their accommodation in the Carcavelos area to be conveniently located near the conference venue and social events. Transportation to and from Catolica SBE will be provided
