Call for Papers
From May 29 to 31, 2017, the Center for Law & Economics at ETH Zurich (www.lawecon.ethz.ch), the Institute for Strategy, Technology and Organization at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich (www.en.isto.bwl.uni-muenchen.de) and the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition (www.ip.mpg.de) will jointly organize the second
Munich Summer Institute 2017
Overview
The Summer Institute will focus on three areas:
- Digitization, Strategy and Organization (chairs: Jörg Claussen and Tobias Kretschmer),
- Innovation and Entrepreneurship (chair: Dietmar Harhoff), and
- Law & Economics of Intellectual Property and Innovation (chair: Stefan Bechtold).
The goal of the Munich Summer Institute is to stimulate a rigorous in-depth discussion of a select number of research papers and to strengthen the interdisciplinary international research community in these areas. Researchers in economics, law, management and related fields at all stages of their career (from Ph.D. students to full professors) may attend the Munich Summer Institute as presenters in a plenary or a poster session, as discussants or as attendants. The Munich Summer Institute will feature three keynote lectures, 18 plenary presentations and a daily poster session (including a poster slam). Paper presentations will be grouped by topics, not discipline or method.
The Munich Summer Institute will be held at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities in the heart of Munich. The organizers will fund travel and hotel expenses for all plenary speakers and hotel expenses for all poster presenters.
