Business School Research Conference 2024
- Date: Thursday 20 June 2024
- Location: Cloth Hall Court, Quebec Street, Leeds
- Cost: Free
The LUBS Research Conference on Thursday 20 June provides an opportunity to showcase our research excellence and support the development of collaborative research practice.
In the context of the University and School vision for research to make a difference to the world, the conference will organise around a general theme of, ‘The value of business school research’.
LUBS has research strengths across many fields and disciplines, with theoretical, methodological and empirical depth that can offer insights and solutions to the most challenging and pressing of issues, be they corporate, policy-related or more societal. We will aim to organise the conference around emerging themes to ensure as much engagement as possible.
The conference aims to provide a space for colleagues to come together to share their research with peers, identify synergies in our research, foster collaboration across centres and departments and establish a platform for interdisciplinary research. The conference will include plenary sessions and a workshop. This year, we have also invited Doctoral Researchers who are studying in their final year to join and present at the conference.
There will be an Impact track running over the day that will enable a select number of participants to present research that aims at influencing non-academic knowledge users such as policy makers, for-profit and non-profit organizations and public sector organizations. Research that originates from large grants, demonstrates collaborative engagement, or in any way promises to resonate beyond academia would fit perfectly within this track. It is also an opportunity for all colleagues who are thinking about developing impact cases to showcase their current work.
Please note that the deadline for abstract submission has now passed
Closing date for registrations: 12 noon on Friday 17 May
Please note that photography and filming will be taking place at this event for use by the University for marketing and publicity uses in our publications, on our website, social media and any third-party publications.
Please contact a member of staff if you wish to be exempted from this activity.

We look forward to seeing you there.
