Innovation and Intellectual Property Management (IIPM) Laboratory

It was fantastic to see that the EURAM track we started back in 2018 now called "Innovation for Sustainablility, Circularity and GreenTech" has grown into a full and standing track at one of Europe's prime management conferences, this year even with seven sessions spread out across all three days. We had excellent paper presentations and really valuable discussions. Thanks to my fellow track co-chairs Erik G. HansenDr. Julia SchmittKlaus Fichter, Maryse ChappinJouni K. Juntunen, and Edurne A. Iñigo.

It was also super nice to see again former colleagues, such as Dr. Pratheeba Vimalnath (now lecturer at University of Exeter Business School) and collaborators, such as Dr. Sheetal Menon, currently Assistant Professor in Strategy at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Sheetal also presented a joint paper.
