The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore’s flagship journal IIMB Management Review (IMR) and the Office of the Doctoral Programme are organising the seventeenth IMR Doctoral Conference (IMRDC) on 9th & 10th January 2026.
Our objective is to encourage doctoral research and facilitate collaborative work among researchers from different institutions. We aim to provide a forum where insightful feedback from senior researchers and academics can help improve the quality and rigour of student research. The IMR Doctoral Conference is a benchmark event in doctoral research, commended by participants for the thorough and constructive feedback provided through its “one exclusive discussant per paper” format.
We have envisioned a two-day programme with select paper presentations by doctoral students, keynote sessions, panel discussions, workshops and invited talks by eminent scholars in management research.
We invite interested faculty, doctoral students, researchers, and practitioners from affiliated fields to register as in-person or virtual Delegates at IMRDC 2026.
In-person Delegates would need to register and pay the applicable Delegate Registration Fee* through the Online Payment Gateway provided in the Registration Form.
