Séminaires de Recherche Hommes et Organisations

Conscient de l’importance croissante d’un flux continu de résultats de recherche, le département Hommes et Organisations de NEOMA a élaboré une série d’activités collectives visant à renforcer sa production de recherche.

L’objectif de nos séminaires est de proposer un format « atelier » plutôt que des présentations d’articles. Nous invitons régulièrement des intervenants externes à parler leurs projets de recherche. Ce faisant, nous espérons que ces journées soient l’occasion pour chaque professeur du département H&O de recevoir des commentaires et des conseils constructifs de la part des autres, de créer des liens et de susciter un dialogue continu sur des sujets d’intérêt commun.

Au cours des deux dernières années, nous avons constaté que nos séminaires avaient aidé les professeurs de notre département à publier des articles dans diverses revues, à être acceptés dans des conférences et à obtenir des fonds de recherche. De plus, ils ont facilité de nouvelles collaborations et fait avancer des projets de recherche en cours.

L’objectif : offrir un espace convivial de conseils et de commentaires sur les projets de recherche à différentes étapes (de la conception de l’idée au processus éditorial) en anglais et en français et en utilisant toutes sortes de méthodologies.

La logistique : les séminaires sont organisés une fois par mois et durent soit une demi-journée, soit une journée entière. Notre programme typique comprend une heure de Challenge et Conseils (où les professeurs discutent les challenges de recherche sur lesquels ils ont besoin de conseils) et 2 ou 3 présentations de projets de recherche pouvant inclure un conférencier externe.

Organisatrices : Nishani BOURMAULT (nishani.bourmault@neoma-bs.fr), Helena GONZÁLEZ GÓMEZ (helena.gonzalez@neoma-bs.fr) and Shiva TAGHAVI (shiva.taghavi@neoma-bs.fr).
