The EU-supported research network, “Dynamics of Institutions and Markets in Europe” (DIME) is arranging a “PhD day” in collaboration with the Danish Research Unit of Industrial Dynamics (DRUID) in Copenhagen on Saturday 17 June, just prior to the annual DRUID conference.

At this event, PhD students present their research and receive guidance and commentary from faculty associated with DIME and DRUID plus invited members from the international DRUID Advisory Board . Faculty and student interests typically centre on questions of organization and economic theory, technology management and firm strategy, learning and innovation systems and the co-evolution of industrial structure, organizational structure, and innovation.

According to the organizers,

The DIME-DRUID PhD Day is planned as a European parallel to the annual CCC PhD Conference in the US. Links between CCC and the European PhD activities in the context of the annual DIMETIC courses in Strasbourg and Maastricht, The ESSID Summer School at Corsica, the SPRU DPhil Day in Sussex and the DRUID-DIME Winter Conference in Aalborg, Denmark have gradually been strengthened in the most recent 7-8 years. The event in Copenhagen 17 June will emphasize the option for US PhD students to participate as well. The strengthening of the European-US link within the PhD field has been given high priority by DIME.

The organizers prefer the participation of students whose research is beyond the thesis proposal stage.

If you are interested in participating, you better hurry, as the deadline for applying is TODAY! Interested students need to send a 1-2 page summary of their work to Jeanette Hvarregaard dimephd-day2006@druid.dk by 15 May 2006 at the latest.
