Description
The BAM Early Career Academic Network Monthly Webinars are designed to support early-career scholars in business and management.
These informal, interactive sessions provide a platform for participants to engage with experienced academics, share experiences, and gain practical insights into various aspects of academic life. Each session focuses on a specific theme relevant to early-career academics, such as managing research and teaching teams, developing a personal teaching style, navigating grant applications, and engaging in peer review processes.
Webinars feature guest speakers, including senior academics and industry professionals, who share their expertise and experiences, providing valuable guidance and answering participants' questions.
The webinars are conducted via Zoom, fostering an informal environment where attendees can actively participate, ask questions, and engage in discussions with peers and experts.
