The Graduate School of Management and Organization (GRAMO)

GRAMO DOCTORAL TUTORIAL 2024

IN MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION  STUDIES

The Graduate School of Management and Organization (GRAMO) doctoral tutorial is held October 3-4 2024 organized by Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics (JSBE) and Kataja’s GRAMO graduate school. The event will take place at the JYU campus, in Mattilanniemi, Jyväskylä.

The objective of the GRAMO tutorial is to provide an opportunity for doctoral researchers in the field of management, organization and entrepreneurship studies to present and discuss their research work and to learn how to review and provide feedback to others. Participating senior faculty members are experts in their fields and we support critical and constructive atmosphere in the sessions. Perhaps most importantly, this is an opportunity to get to know and network with colleagues from across the Finnish universities, be it doctoral researchers or faculty members, in the spirit of mutual learning. 

Doctoral researchers from all Finnish universities are welcome to submit either (1) a paper or (2) their doctoral research plan. Submissions from early- to late-stage doctoral researchers are welcome, as are both early-stage, work-in-progress, and more advanced papers.

The tutorial is targeted at, and free of charge for all doctoral students in the Finnish KATAJA member universities.

Location 

The two-day event will be organized at the campus of the JSBE, Agora building, Mattilanniemi 2. The campus is located close to the city center, 2 kilometers from the Jyväskylä city train station.
