Academic Track

The Academic Track is designed to bring business and management scholars into direct conversation with leaders across the Space Economy.

Why participate?

From Submission to Publication

It is our intention to develop proposals for special issues in major FT50 and/or industry-/policy-facing journals by the time of the conference.

Extended Abstract

In the first stage, please submit an extended abstract of no more than 500 words presenting a clear and compelling research idea related to the Space Economy. Submissions may be conceptual, empirical, phenomenon-driven, or methodological, but should demonstrate a clear connection to relevant management, strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, organization, or related literatures.

The abstract should clearly explain the research question or principal topic, theoretical background or framing, research design or method where applicable, findings or expected findings, and the intended contribution to theory and/or practice. Work in progress is welcome, provided that the submission has a sufficiently developed research question, argument, or empirical direction to benefit from developmental discussion.

We particularly encourage submissions that engage with important and emerging phenomena in the Space Economy, address theoretically meaningful questions, and have the potential to develop into publication-quality research.

Authors of selected abstracts will subsequently be invited to submit a full paper for developmental presentation at the conference and discussion with senior faculty.
