We are pleased to announce the launch of our new BAM Education-focussed Scholarship Incubator Programme (Efs), staged by the BAM Management Knowledge and Education Sub-Committee..
Building on our ever-popular BAM Education-focussed Professors Programme, the programmes is facilitated by an international group of experienced authors, reviewers and journal editors who will take you through the whole process from exploring options for scholarly writing, developing good writing habits, setting up a contribution, using literature, research design and methods through to writing persuasively.
You will also be part of a small group that will be encouraged to have regular check-ins to support each other’s progress against your target over the course of the programme. We will also offer mentoring support for your writing project.
This programme is for you if you have little experience of writing for academic outlets or you would benefit from some new insights and practical advice on academic writing with a structure that encourages you to write productively.
