From 17 to 19 June 2019, the Center for Law & Economics at ETH Zurich, the Chair for Technology and Innovation Management at TUM, the Institute for Strategy, Technology and Organization at LMU Munich and the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition will jointly organize the fourth Munich Summer Institute.
The Summer Institute will focus on three areas:
- Digitization, Strategy and Organization
(chairs: Jörg Claussen and Tobias Kretschmer), - Innovation and Entrepreneurship
(chairs: Dietmar Harhoff and Joachim Henkel), 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. Participation is by invitation only. The organizers will fund travel and hotel expenses for all plenary speakers and hotel expenses for all poster presenters and invited discussants.
Keynote speakers are:
- Alfonso Gambardella (Bocconi University)
- Robert Seamans (New York University)
- Catherine Tucker (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Paper submission procedure
Researchers who would like to present a paper are invited to submit their paper online until 24 February 2019, at the MSI website. The Munich Summer Institute only considers papers which have not been published or accepted for publication at the date of submission. Paper selections will be announced in early April 2019. The program of the Munich Summer Institute will be available in early May 2019. Final papers will be made available to conference participants on a protected website, and are due on 15 May 2018. Researchers who would like to attend the Munich Summer Institute without giving a presentation should contact one of the organizers by 15 May 2018.
