- Sustainable supply chain finance
Abstracts need to be written in English and should be submitted electronically using the online tool.
Length: max. 1000 words (including title, main text and references).
Please ensure no author information appears in your submitted abstract, as all abstracts will undergo a double-blind review.
Teaching Innovation — Submission Guidelines
We invite submissions for teaching innovation to be presented at the 14th EurOMA Sustainability Forum. The purpose of teaching innovation is to highlight the educational mission of teachers-researchers and to promote the ability to disseminate scientific knowledge and good practices of organisations to learners. We invite researchers to present innovative ideas used to teach sustainable operations and supply chains based on the following two formats: teaching practices or teaching cases.
Regardless of the format, each submission should include
- Title of the teaching innovation
- An abstract including context, purpose, sustainability-related topic, the main problem, theoretical lens (if applicable), and learning outcomes for the students.
- Type of teaching innovation
- Teaching practice
- Teaching case
- Target group (e.g., Bachelor, Master, Executive)
- For teaching practices:
- Teaching approach (e.g., teacher- or student-centred)
- Innovative features of the practice
- If the practice has been tested (yes/no)
- How to adopt the practice
- For teaching cases:
- Type of organisation addressed in the case: name and characteristics of the organisation studied (e.g., firm, public sector, association, NGO)
- Type of data available (e.g., interview transcripts, videos, reports)
- If the case has been tested in a lecture (yes/no)
- How to use the case: please explain in a few sentences how the teaching case should be used in class (questions asked to students, sessions (teaching hours) and outlines, use of the provided data and tools, applicable theories to explain the case).
Selected submissions will be presented by their author(s) during the conference in sessions specifically tailored to the discussion of innovative teaching approaches.
Format and submission
- Teaching practices: please submit no more than 10 pages.
- Teaching cases: please submit no more than 15 pages (e.g., up to ten pages for the case and five pages for the teaching notes).
Co-creation Sessions — Submission Guidelines
Co-creation sessions present valuable opportunities to engage in enriching discussions on emerging themes and relevant questions, and engage the forum participants. Each co-creation session is scheduled for 90 minutes and can either use an interactive workshop or panel discussion format. We encourage submissions particularly for co-creation sessions that engage and interact with the audience in novel ways.
The Co-Creation Sessions encompass the launch of a topic/problem by the proponents / organizers of the session to be discussed in the group. The objective is to address innovative and relevant topics that represent real problems and think together about possible solutions or approaches to deal with them. Co-Creation Sessions may include different formats such as debates, brainstorming, world café, mind mapping, business games or practical exercises. In Co-Creation Sessions, after an introduction by the organisers, the participants could be split into small groups and discuss solutions to the proposed issue, followed by a discussion in the big group.
To provide multiple perspectives, we encourage team diversity (e.g., different institutions and countries) and multi-disciplinary approaches for these sessions.
The proposal for the co-creation session should include the organizers, the speakers, motivation/topic, format of the session and the agenda. Please include a designated person to act as the contact person for the session.
Length: max. 1000 words (including all).
