Business School Research Conference 2024

The LUBS Research Conference on Thursday 20 June provides an opportunity to showcase our research excellence and support the development of collaborative research practice.

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 also invite 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.

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.
