2nd EDAMBA Winter Academy on Doctoral Supervision
Grenoble Ecole de Management
21 – 26 March 2009
Deadline for application: January 31, 2009
Building on the success of the 1st EDAMBA winter academy that it took place at Grenoble Ecole de Management back on March 26-30, 2008, the Grenoble Ecole de Management is hosting the 2nd EDAMBA Winter Academy from March 21-26, 2009.
Aims and Target Audience
The key issue of developing competent supervisors for addressing the increasing shortage of doctorally qualified faculty in Business and Management Studies in European Universities and Business Schools, it was once more highlighted in our last annual meeting focussing on how to develop research capacity for our members. The fourth cycle in the ‘Bolognia process’ targeting newly appointed or/and junior faculty to gain from best practice in doctoral supervision it is clearly identified as a key issue for our community of doctoral programs in Management and Business Studies. Newly appointed doctoral supervisors, or/and potential supervisors who have recently gained their own doctorates and work in Management and Business Schools of our network, but they do not have yet a successful PhD or DBA completion in their record, they will mostly benefit from our winter academy, exchanging across institutional, disciplinary and geographical boundaries, fostering a dialogue in a safe and rather intimate environment, learning from best practices throughout Europe and beyond.
The size of the group will be limited to about 30 doctoral supervisors (mainly junior faculty with a doctoral degree gained in the past 3 to 5 years of their career) coming from a broad range of Business and Management disciplines and our network of doctoral programmes throughout Europe and beyond. A dozen or so members of senior faculty will also participate in the academy, mentoring and teaching through small group teaching, lectures and informal seminars over an intensive 5-day period. A certificate of attendance will be awarded to all participants.
Content
The list of topics to be covered in this 2nd winter academy will include:
1. Developing supervisory skills for doctoral supervisors (through successful and unsuccessful cases, competency frameworks, etc).

3. Inter-disciplinary research and epistemology of knowledge, mode-2 research.
4. Rules of Conduct and Standards for Doctoral Supervision from the UK ESRC, AMBA, etc.
5. Ethical issues with respect to plagiarism, managing student – supervisor relationships, co-supervision and supervision teams, etc.
