Friendly Reminder: EDI 2020 Conference in Bern, Call for Papers

  • 1.  Friendly Reminder: EDI 2020 Conference in Bern, Call for Papers

    Posted 02-17-2020 11:03

    The 13th International Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Conference (EDI) will take place on 6-8 July 2020 in Bern, Switzerland. We will have nineteen engrossing and varied streams and seven workshops at next year's EDI conference (see below).

    Submissions to the conference (i.e. to the streams) can be in the form of long abstracts (up to 1500 words), developmental papers (3000-5000 words, including references) or full papers (no length restrictions) by the deadline of 1 March 2020. Please process your registration and paper submission online via EDI.

    Your submissions should be adjusted to meet the formal standards of either the Journal "Equality, Diversity and Inclusion" or the "Journal of Business Ethics".

    Reflecting the multilingual nature of Switzerland, this year's EDI conference includes three streams in the most widely-spoken official languages of the country: one in German, one in French, and one in Italian. These streams welcome papers written in the respective language on any issue related to equality, diversity, and inclusion. The sessions within each of these streams will then be organized around the thematic vicinities of the submissions.

    Paper presentations at the conference will be a maximum of 20 minutes long, with 10 minutes for questions and discussion. If stream chairs are willing to allow different formats, they will notify you personally. Video projectors will be available in each conference room.

    You will receive notification regarding acceptance or rejection of your submission by 10 April 2020 at the latest. 

    Best paper nominations, and the submission of best papers to the relevant associated journal (as agreed by the submitter), will take place on 18 May 2020.

    The review process of the best papers by partner journals is wholly under the supervision of the chief editors of the relevant journals, and is therefore independent of the conference dates.
