Submit your extended abstract and participate as a presenter at ERW 2025
For scholars: How to apply and submit your work?
Regarding option 1: We are particularly interested in empirical and conceptual papers that advance existing knowledge about what has been outlined above and especially about factors that support the transition of firms, industries, and economies into ‘greener’ and ‘smarter’ ones. We encourage to submit work-in-progress at various stages of development, deriving from current research projects as well as controversial and provocative essays that addresses innovative research questions. Submissions must comply to scientific standards and are expected to be of high-quality regarding application of theories/concepts, appropriate methods and comprehensive analyses (if present), as well as formal requirements to be accepted for the workshop.
At first stage, we ask for submitting brief summaries (extended abstracts) that should be close to but not exceed 1,500 words (excluding reference lists) of mid-stage research studies that have not been published and which address a topic along the lines of workshop theme. All submission will undergo a brief review process. Those authors whose papers are accepted will be invited and expected to present their research on the second day of the workshop in May 2025 in person.
Regarding option 2 and 3: Participants will indicate their preferences for any of the two options during the registration process. They will indicate their status as researchers (e.g., affiliation, title) and are not required to submit a manuscript. They are however expected to actively engage in the workshop to get the best for their scientific progress. Depending on the number of submissions, they might be asked to contribute as reviewers of submitted manuscripts.
