Edinburgh Napier University is pleased to host the 18th Biennial Conference on International Human Resource Management at our Craiglockhart Campus from 15-17 June 2027.
The International Human Resource Management (IHRM) Conference is one of the most prestigious academic gatherings for like-minded HRM scholars, at all career stages, to come together to share the latest research and thinking. The conference provides space for delegates to engage in professional development and to (re)connect with existing networks and develop new ones.
The theme for the 2027 conference is: Navigating International Human Resource Management in a Polycrisis Era
The 18th Conference on IHRM will bring together scholars and stakeholders to explore how IHRM must evolve to remain relevant and impactful in this complex polycrisis landscape. Streams will span macro‑societal, meso‑organisational, and micro‑individual (employee) levels.
Highlights include:
- An exciting, diverse, and high-quality programme
- High-profile keynote speakers exploring the latest IHRM trends and debates
- Doctoral/ECR symposium offering paper development, publishing, and career advice
- Wide variety of sessions of broad appeal to delegates of all career stages and interests
- Full social programme featuring a Scottish-themed gala dinner including bagpipes and ceilidh dancing
Paper submission is now open, and closes on 22nd January 2027.
