I am involved with Online Conferences for Early Career Researchers (ECRs), at the journals Research Policy, and Small Business Economics.
Online conferences for are a valuable alternative to in-person conferences. Academics travel too much: this is bad for the environment, it’s expensive and time-consuming, and it excludes many who live far away, who have limited budgets, or who have childcare commitments. Online conferences have other advantages over in-person conferences, such as: sharing URL links, PDFs and files; sharing comments by mic or chat; effortlessly generating a chat log file for saving and sharing comments; and continuing discussions in public or private chat after one speaker hands over to the next.
COMING SOON: RESEARCH POLICY 9th ECR (probably in April 2025)
