Location and dates
The 9th EurOMA Doctoral Seminar will take place at the conference venue (Foz Campus of the Catholic University of Portugal) in Porto, Portugal, on 4-5 June 2010, the Friday and Saturday before the EurOMA conference.
Objective
The EurOMA Doctoral Seminar provides PhD students with a forum for presenting and discussing their research and an opportunity to get feedback from and exchange comments and views with fellow PhD students and experienced researchers in the field. The Doctoral Seminar is held once a year, just prior to the EurOMA annual conference.
Structure
The Doctoral Seminar consists of two 'classes' or years. In the first year, participants are invited to present their research design and preliminary results. This class is meant for students who are in the first year or early in the second year of their studies.
Students who took part in the first class will be invited to join the second class, one year after. In that seminar, the discussion will focus on results and preliminary conclusions (contribution to theory, methodology and/or practice of Operations Management).
Students are strongly recommended to attend the EDEN Doctoral Seminar on Research Methodology in Operations Management (see below) before entering the EurOMA series of Doctoral Seminars.
Certificate and credits
Upon successful completion of the Doctoral Seminar, first year's participants receive a certificate titled 'Research Design in Operations Management'. Second year's participants are awarded a certificate titled 'Research Results in Operations Management'. The doctoral Seminar counts for 3 ECTS.
Work mode: presentation, discussion and reflection
First year's participants to the EurOMA Doctoral Seminar must provide a written project description as part of their application for the Doctoral Seminar. Second year's participants must submit a working paper covering their initial findings and conclusions.
All participants are expected to present, discuss and reflect on their work to and with fellow-students and faculty.
Fee
Accepted students participating in the Doctoral Seminar should register for the seminar through the conference registration page. The fee for the Doctoral Seminar is €500 for members of EurOMA and €600 for non-members. This fee includes: a) participation in the Doctoral Seminar, the seminar dinner (Friday), lunches, coffee and refreshments; b) participation in the EurOMA conference, 6-9 June 2010, including admission to all scientific sessions, registration package and proceedings, lunches and coffee-breaks, welcome reception and conference dinner.
Application
To apply for participation in the Doctoral Seminar, first year's applicants must submit a short project description (5 pages) with name, project title, affiliation, and a recommendation from their supervisor. These two documents must be sent to Professor Harry Boer no later than Friday 15 January 2010 by e-mail at hboer@production.aau.dk.
The only thing the second year's participants have to do at that stage is send an e-mail to hboer@production.aau.dk confirming their participation.

First year's applicants will be notified of acceptance or rejection of their proposal by Friday 12 February 2010. Successful applicants will then be asked to prepare and submit no later than Friday 14 May 2010 a full paper (max. 25 pages) describing their research design (first year's group).
The second year's participants deliver a working paper (max. 25 pages) covering the preliminary results and conclusions of their research no later than Friday 14 May 2010.
Faculty
A faculty of four-six renowned OM scholars will take part in the Doctoral Seminar, provide support and feedback, share their experiences, and engage actively in the discussions.
