In addition to the above mentioned streams we are open to a number of ‘special tracks’ (please submit your ideas to ipsera2022@ipsera.com).
These can relate to the core theme of the conference and other ‘hot issues’ in purchasing and supply management and will increase our understanding of new competitive challenges and help both profit- and non- profit organizations to address them.

Three types of papers will be accepted:

  • Competitive papers based on a full paper
  • Working papers based on an abstract
  • Practitioner papers based on an abstract

COMPETITIVE PAPERS

Competitive papers should be conceptual or empirical papers that are, in principle, submission-ready. These papers should follow the format and style outlined in the “Author Guidelines” on the conference website (max. number of pages: 15).

WORKING / PRACTITIONER PAPERS

Working papers indicate “work in progress”. These papers can report on empirical or conceptual research. (max. number of pages: 10).

Practitioner papers can only be submitted by practitioners (also together with academics) and should be objective in their approach and not in the form of commercial promotional material for a business or product. (max. number of pages: 10).

Important: Check “Author Guidelines” and “Key Dates” sections (Registration/Submission) to correctly and timely submit your paper.
