The EMAC Climber Community (CC) aims to establish a community of early career scholars in Marketing throughout Europe and other continents. Several research organizations and conferences in Europe offer a special program for PhD students and/or networking possibilities for full professors. However, the generation between beginners and successful leaders sometimes seems to be forgotten, although they represent the potential marketing professors of the future. In other words, they are the "climbers" of the European Marketing Academy.
Marketing scholars at an early stage of their career (e.g., assistant professor, Post-Doc, research fellow, etc.) are invited to participate in the EMAC CC meeting on Wednesday afternoon during the conference, as well as in an informal gathering right after our meeting. The latter strives to further increase the personal ties within our community.
The EMAC CC is open to all Post-Docs (and PhD students in their final phase who want to stay in academia), who are members of the EMAC.
In the meantime, please consider joining one of the EMAC CC groups on

Session 2: 4 pm to 5.30 pm
* Networking: The second part of the EMAC CC meeting is again fully dedicated to the development of an international research network among participating early career scholars in Marketing. The purpose of this second session is thus to get to know other EMAC CC members more closely; exchange experiences regarding research, research funding, or (inter)national job search processes; find out about potential joint research interests; and ideally establish the foundation for joint future collaborations and/or exchanges across countries.
