Strategy Science Conference
Strategy Science Conference
Barcelona · June 13-14 2025
We are pleased to announce the eighth annual Strategy Science Conference. The conference will be hosted by IESE Business School and co-sponsored by the journal Strategy Science. The conference will take place on June 13 and 14 in Barcelona, Spain.
Strategy Science, an INFORMS journal, has established itself as an important voice in the strategy field, providing an outlet for innovative strategy research tackling central questions in the field. In that spirit, the conference will provide an opportunity for strategy researchers to share their work with in-depth discussions both in the context of the formal paper presentations and panel discussions. The conference aims to attract a diverse set of work addressing key issues in the strategy field.
Prior to the conference, the Strategy Science Doctoral Workshop will be held on June 12. Students admitted to the workshop will also be invited to participate in the conference that follows on June 13 and 14. The workshop is aimed at students who are finishing or have recently finished their coursework and are in the early stages of their dissertation work.
The deadline for submissions to the Conference and the Doctoral Workshop is March 10, 2025.
We hope that you feel inspired and have a wonderful time in Barcelona. Looking forward to seeing you,
The local organizing committee
