We invite accounting (and non-accounting) research students and emerging scholars from all geographic areas to submit to the Emerging Scholars Colloquium (ESC) to be held on June 1, 2026. The ESC is part of the 2nd Accounting Forum Conference on June 1-3, 2026, which will be hosted by the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE), Faculty of Accounting and Management Information Systems. The ESC provides the delegates with the opportunity to receive feedback on their work from senior academics, as well as networking opportunities.

The ESC will start with a networking lunch (provided) on Monday June 1, followed by a plenary session and presentations from each participant. Centering on the dialogue between participants and attendees, we invite a brief pitch with 10–15-minute presentations of the main project ideas, focusing on the key challenges the presenter is facing and wishes to discuss. Each presentation will be followed by a 10–15-minute discussion facilitated by a leading academic. The focused exchange is intended to provide participants with insightful new perspectives on their research project.
