Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Greetings from the International Journal of Operations & Production Management (IJOPM)! We hope you are doing well.
We are delighted to invite you to attend and present your research at an in-person, IJOPM-focused Paper Development Workshop in Hong Kong on 5–6 January 2026, hosted by Professor Chris Lo and colleagues at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
The aim of the workshop is to support empirical scholars-especially early career researchers-in developing a deeper understanding of IJOPM and strengthening the positioning of their research for future submissions to the journal. More details about the workshop can be found at https://events.polyu.edu.hk/ijopmhkworkshop2026/.
If you are interested in presenting your work and receiving feedback from the IJOPM editorial team, please submit an extended abstract or full paper via https://events.polyu.edu.hk/ijopmhkworkshop2026/callforpapers by Friday, 31 October 2025. Registration to attend the workshop is now open at https://events.polyu.edu.hk/ijopmhkworkshop2026/registration.
We very much look forward to receiving your submissions and welcoming you to Hong Kong in January 2026! We would also greatly appreciate it if you could share the workshop information with your colleagues and PhD students who may be interested in attending and presenting at the workshop.
Thank you and have a nice weekend!
Warm regards,
Hugo, Jens and Martin
