Call for papers to EURAM 2018 Making a Difference: Action Research and Engaged Scholarship in projects and innovations

A special track is being organized by proponents from the Project Organising SIG (supported by members of the Innovation SIG) inviting papers being held at the University of Iceland from 20-23rd June.  Papers are due by January 10, 2018. We invite you to consider submitting papers to this track.

Making a difference with action research and engaged scholarship in projects and innovations goes hand in hand with the overall EURAM 2018 theme ‘research in action’. Action research involves close cooperation between practitioners and researchers to bring about sustainable change. Engaged scholarship has a broader perspective as a participative form of research for obtaining different perspectives of key stakeholders in studying complex problems. Action research and engaged scholarship offers a grand opportunity to address key challenges in project management in a novel and constructive way. This track calls for papers involving action research, collaborative research, design research, co-creation of knowledge and beyond.

More details about the track are attached. Please contact any of the following if you need further information.
