Training and Development


BAM Events

In addition to the BAM Conference and the associated annual Doctoral Symposium, BAM runs Training and Development activities that provides members with the opportunity to develop and enhance their research techniques throughout the year. You can find out about current and future training workshops and events on the website, and sign up to them using our online booking system. Also, watch out for event updates via our events notice emails and monthly eNewsletter.

Training ‘pathways’

As part of it’s capacity building agenda BAM seeks to identify entry routes into the management research profession at various stages in a career life course, and prescribe relevant pathways of training, developed to support the people taking part. As this website develops the BAM events currently listed in the Training and Events section will be joined by external events from similar research training providers, giving you a comprehensive overview of all advanced training within the social science community.

These recommended pathways of training are being developed to enable the delivery of training of the highest standard at an advanced level, as well as to enable cohorts of students and researchers to network and learn from each other as they progress, as well as establish lasting and worthwhile professional relationships. Watch this space!
