The British Academy of Management (BAM) together with Irish Academy of Management (IAM) and Società Italiana di Management (SIMA) are pleased to announce the launch of the BAM and Partner (IAM and SIMA) grant schemes 2024.

These schemes are part of BAM’s mission to build a thriving, pluralistic research community by supporting relevant, ethical and innovative management and business research.

 

ABOUT THE SCHEMES:

BAM-Irish Academy of Management (IAM) Collaborative Research Award

Maximum £4,000 for 1 project

This Scheme is aimed at supporting and advancing international research collaborations between management researchers in the Republic of Ireland and the UK. It seeks to support the development of members of the British Academy of Management and the Irish Academy of Management (IAM) who are at an early stage in their careers. Established researchers are also eligible to apply but they must clearly explain their role in the work and in developing the skills of early career researchers. The scheme is open to all IAM and BAM Members; non-members wishing to apply to the scheme can join either IAM or BAM as appropriate.

At least one investigator must be employed at an academic institution in the Republic of Ireland and another investigator must be employed at an academic institution in the UK to ensure collaborative research between the two countries with fieldwork being required in both regions.
