PhD Student Seminar 2021

Written by jacky on . Posted in Announcements.

EASM Virtual PhD Student Seminar

 

The EASM Virtual PhD Student Seminar is a three-day international seminar, taking place from Monday the 13thof September to Wednesday the 15thof September 2021. The seminar aims at gathering doctoral students in the field of sport management from all over the world for mutual discussions, presentations of their research projects and feedback from senior scholars. Another important element is the creation of networks, that will hopefully encourage future joint research projects across nations and the establishment of fruitful social relations.

 

Application

The application period is now open. First time attendees are given priority. Since a maximum of 20 PhD students can participate in the seminar, we encourage you to submit an abstract before the 1stof May 2021. Applicants will receive a notification of acceptance by the 14thof May 2021. Should there be places available, further submissions will be possible until the 15thof August 2021. These will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Participation in the EASM Virtual PhD Student Seminar 2021 is free of charge for students who are EASM Members at the time of the seminar (https://easm.devserv24.de/become-a-member/). Non-EASM Members with an official PhD student status will be charged a fee of 49 EUR. Participation in the EASM Virtual PhD Student Seminar 2021 includes access to all events of the 2021 EASM Festival ofSport Management Research and Practice.

The application must include a short presentation (max. 400 words, excluding references) of the PhD project including the problem statement, research field, as well as theoretical and methodological considerations. Furthermore, applicants must indicate the name(s) of their supervisor(s), their institutional affiliation and the status of their project (e.g. at the beginning, halfway or at the end). The PhD project must have a sport management perspective. Please use the main festival’s standard scientific tracks as a yardstick whether your project falls within the sport management field, but feel free to contact Chris Horbel (chrish@nih.no) in case you are unsure or would like to discuss in advance of submitting your application.

Please send your abstract and the required information via email to Chris Horbel (chrish@nih.no) andJosef Fahlén (josef.fahlen@umu.se).

After confirmation of acceptance, participants need to register for the seminar and the EASM Festival ofSport Management Research and Practice via the official event booking system. Deadline for registration is 15thof August 2021. If no registration is made by that date, the place will be made available for students on the waiting list.

 

Requirements for participation

Submission of short paper

In order to participate, the doctoral student is required to submit and present a short paper.

Paper presentations are an important part of the EASM PhD Student Seminar. The purpose is to give young scholars the opportunity to present their work and receive comprehensive feedback from senior scholars and fellow students. We do not expect fully finished papers. On the contrary, we encourage submitting ‘early-work-in-progress’ because this provides a good point of departure for subsequent revision and improvement before submitting the manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal or integrating it in the PhD thesis.

Papers can be a first draft of a journal article, a detailed description of the research project or a (method-)chapter for the dissertation. Papers must be written in English and should be between 2,000 and 3,000 words (without references) in length. A consistent reference style must be applied.

We encourage a focus on research design, methodology or philosophy of science. This implies less emphasis on comprehensive state-of-art literature review (what is going on in the specific research area) and thorough analysis (we assume this will be the next step). Our intention is, if possible, to discuss the early-phase of the PhD research projects. For second time seminar attendees: if a methodological paper was presented the first time you attended, you might move on to present a paper containing either your theoretical framework, a state-of-the-art literature review or an outline of your analysis.

Paper presentation and discussion

Each participant will get 30 minutes for the presentation and discussion of the paper. Participants should briefly introduce their papers/projects in a presentation of max. 10 minutes. This should include highlighting key questions to fellow seminar participants or focusing on a specific topic for subsequent discussion.

Prior to the seminar, all papers will be circulated among the participants and each participant will be assigned one paper in the role as main discussant. After the presentation by the author, the assigned discussant will provide comments and feedback and chair the subsequent round of questions and comments by other participants and the senior scholars.

We put great emphasis on a comfortable atmosphere to provide fruitful and constructive feedback to each presenter, which will hopefully support progress on everyone’s project. So please bear in mind that most participants are non-native English speakers. Over the years, the EASM PhD Student Seminar has built-up a great number of successful ‘alumni’ and  fine international networks have been established.

Thank you for sharing your work with us!

Deadline for submission of the short paper is 15thof August 2021. The short paper must be submitted via email to Chris Horbel (chrish@nih.no) and Josef Fahlén (josef.fahlen@umu.se). Within a week after submission deadline, papers will be circulated and roles as discussants assigned.

Conference Format: All efforts and plans are to have the conference offered completely in person and onsite. With the advanced development and steady implementation of vaccines and medical procedures for addressing the COVID-19 pandemic and treating related illness, it is expected that by late 2021, it will be safe for people to make plans to travel to the conference. Nonetheless, if the health environment still cannot meet the conference safety standards by that time, the WASM Executive Committee, host universities, and WASM Scientific Committee will work collaboratively to come up with an alternative solution. 

 

Abstract Development: The submission should contain a title, author(s), institutional or business affiliation of each author with an associated email address, presentation type, and an abstract of the proposed presentation. The abstract should be up to 500 words maximum and contain a full description of the topic providing an introduction, review of literature, theoretical framework, results (if the study is complete), and discussion, and references. Figures and tables should not be included in the abstract unless considered essential. 

 

The Lightning Talk, unlike traditional oral and poster presentations, is a presentation format where presenters show 20 images, each for 20 seconds (for a total of 6-minutes 40 seconds), followed by 3 minutes of Q&A. The images advance automatically, and presenters talk to the images. A lightning talk is particularly feasible for new ideas, emerging research, novice or exploratory scholarship, and/or research critiques. To learn more about the meaning, definition, and format of lightning talks, please see this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7fYseU02fw 

 

For a Scholarly or Professional Symposium, the submission of one general abstract of 250 words maximum about the entire symposium is required, with three to six additional abstracts of specific presentations of 250 words maximum for each abstract within the symposium. If the submission is for a panel discussion, debate, Q&A, or workshop, the abstract should contain a title, author(s), institutional or business affiliation of each author with an associated email, purpose and aims of the session, full description of the session, who will benefit, and any other pertinent information. Questions and procedures need to be clearly specified for a proposed debate or Q&A session, and all the individuals involved in the sessions need to be listed. 

 

Language of Abstract: The main language for abstract submissions will be English; however, a section of the conference program will be reserved for Arabic language and Arabic abstract submissions will be permitted for this section accordingly. 

 

Professional Ethics: All abstracts submitted shall be original work and shall not be work that has been published, presented or copyrighted elsewhere. Submitted abstracts should not be concurrently under review at another conference. 

 

Deadline and Link for Submission of Abstract: September 30, 2021. All abstracts must be submitted online. Specific instructions for the submission process are posted at https://www.hbku.edu.qa/en/WASM2022 

 

Review Process: All submissions will be evaluated through a blind review process. Authors will be notified of a decision on or near November 1, 2021. 

 

Further Considerations: Upon acceptance of an abstract, a minimum of one author must attend the WASM conference and deliver the presentation according to the scheduled day and time. The WASM organization and the conference organizer may have other requirements for delivering the presentation. Should an author not comply with the requirements, the program chair or conference organizer reserves the right to remove the abstract and/or presentation from the conference schedule and/or conference book of abstracts. All accepted abstracts have the potential to be published in the WASM conference abstract book, assuming that all other considerations have been met.
