ISPIM JUNIOR RESEARCHER LAB
14th June 2015, Budapest, Hungary
Budapest Marriott Hotel, Apáczai Csere János utca 4
ISPIM is organising its flagship Junior Researcher Lab 2015 in Budapest, which will be taking
place during the XXVI ISPIM Innovation Conference. If you are currently doing a PhD,
considering doing one, or just graduated - then the ISPIM Junior Researcher Lab is for you!
The ISPIM PhD Community is organised to serve as a platform for young career researchers
and PhD students to meet, collaborate, network and exchange experiences with other
colleagues, leading researchers and practitioners in the field. It is essentially a community to
share ideas and connect while providing valuable support in dealing with the challenges of
completing a PhD in innovation management as well as getting started with a post-PhD
Career.
This community has already connected over 140 early stage innovation scholars globally in
two and half years making ISPIM one of the most rapidly growing innovation communities
for junior researchers.
Kindly note: In order to participate pre-registration for the Lab is required (aside from the
main conference registration). Click here to register.
