What defines IPDMC
IPDMC is an international academic community dedicated to research in innovation and product development management.
Rigorous research
IPDMC provides a platform for original, relevant and methodologically sound research on innovation, product development and related areas of management.
Meaningful dialogue
Interactive sessions, workshops and roundtable discussions create space for genuine exchange, constructive feedback and the development of new ideas.
A supportive community
IPDMC is committed to creating a welcoming environment where emerging and experienced scholars can connect, learn from one another and build enduring relationships.
The conference combines high-quality scholarly discussion with a distinctive culture of openness, constructive feedback and collegiality. It offers a trusted environment in which researchers can present emerging ideas, engage in meaningful dialogue and develop lasting collaborations.
From doctoral students attending their first international conference to established scholars shaping the field, IPDMC welcomes participants at every stage of their academic journey.
The association and its board
IPDMC continues with a new organizational home. Following the end of EIASM’s role in supporting the conference, the IPDMC community has established a new non-profit association to ensure the continuity and long-term development of IPDMC. The conference remains community-led and committed to the combination of rigorous research, constructive feedback, collegial exchange, and support for scholars at all career stages that has long characterized IPDMC.
