EDEN calls to everyone’s mind the garden of
earthly delights to which the Book of Genesis refers. It evokes the
attractive and creative environment that EIASM offers to young
promising scholars who undertake the exciting doctoral adventure.
Through
the creation of EDEN, EIASM will contribute to the most critical phases
in a scholar’s life cycle : i.e. his/her introduction to and
early growth on the academic market. Thanks to its unique image and its
organizational competitive advantages (core of associations, autonomy
and flexibility), EIASM can indeed be very efficient at :
- inserting young doctoral fellows into a highly stimulating system
where European researchers can interact (within and across
associations), sharing common objectives and concerns ;
- helping them in the positioning of their own work in
relation to European research generally : expose them to various
research traditions and orientations, open their minds to the
international/global perspectives to be adopted when looking at the
Management environment, make them aware of the challenges Management is
facing in Europe (globalization, new technologies, etc.) ;
- creating a network of European educators active at the doctoral level in Management.
The
development of EDEN will be organized around an integrated set of
doctoral seminars which will bring participants into systematic
interaction, leading them to comparing their approaches and
cross-examining their research work. It will consist of a mix of
intensive one-week seminars dealing with advanced research methodology
issues in Management, as well as with the frontiers of their specific
area of interest.
EIASM involves not only the best doctoral
students and their supervisors, but also the institutions to which they
belong. Therefore the doctoral seminars will be decentralized :
alternating locations and establishing « linkages » with
leading European Business Schools. Since June 1988, when the programme
was launched, 2010 doctoral students from all over Europe have
become EDEN fellows and 238 professors have acted as EDEN faculty
members.

The
seminar will provide a forum for doctoral students in project
management from Europe and around the world, where they can share
experiences in studying project management, exchanging information on:
– research and theoretical paradigms appropriate for project management
– research methodologies appropriate for research in project management
– literature on project management to inform their studies
Modern
project management had its genesis as an off-shoot of Operations
Research and Operations Management in the late 1940s. In the early days
the focus was on using optimization algorithms such as critical path
analysis, the earned value method, and Monte Carlo analysis to optimize
the time and cost required to deliver the project’s objectives.
It is recognized that the theoretical basis of project management is
evolving, and this is an encumbrance to research in project management.
With a weak theoretical basis, research paradigms are weak, and that is
a threat to the research methodologies that follow. Our aim is to
explore the research and theoretical paradigms appropriate for project
management , and the methodological approaches that follow.
TIME AND LOCATION
The seminar will be held at the LILLE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, Lille, France.
The programme will start on August 17, 2009 and is scheduled to end August 21, 2009
PARTICIPATION FEE
The
participation fee is 1500 €. This fee includes participation to
the seminar, the documents, lodging and a number of dinners.
Doctoral students will be assigned rooms for two.
Should you wish a single room, an extra fee of 25 € per night will be charged to you.
Cancellations
made before July 30, 2009 will be reimbursed with 10% deduction of the
total fee. No reimbursement will be possible after this date.
EIASM SCHOLARSHIPS
The
Institute offers a limited number of scholarships of 700 € each.
Scholarships are strictly limited to students coming from an EIASM
Institutional Member (the Academic Council). Allocation of the
scholarships is entirely at the discretion of the European Institute.

Interested doctoral students should apply to Nadine Sauzé no later than June 17, 2009.
Besides doctoral students, other researchers may participate. The
selection among the applicants will be conducted by the programme
coordinator. They will review the following documents which should
necessarily complement each application form:
