Develop your research through presentations, discussion, and constructive feedback from experienced researchers!
As part of the IMR Conference, doctoral students and early-career researchers are invited to present their research proposals, study designs, or work in progress. This dedicated session offers a valuable opportunity to discuss research ideas before data collection or dissertation completion and receive constructive feedback that can strengthen the theoretical framing, methodology, and overall research design.
Participation in the Early Career Research Incubator is free of charge for all participants. Researchers interested in participating should submit a research proposal abstract of up to 1,000 words by 15 September 2026. Submissions should include: (i) the research topic and its relevance, (ii) theoretical background, (iii) research questions and/or hypotheses, (iv) proposed methodology, and (v) expected theoretical and practical contributions.
Accepted participants will have the opportunity to present their proposals during a dedicated conference session and engage in a focused discussion with experienced scholars and conference participants. All participants presenting their research proposals will receive an official Certificate of Participation recognizing their contribution to the IMR Conference and Doctoral Workshop.
