CSEAR Italy, with the support of the University of Urbino and the patronages of SIDREA (Società Italiana dei Docenti di Ragioneria e di Economia Aziendale) and AIDEA (Accademia Italiana di Economia Aziendale), is pleased to announce the 2nd CSEAR Italy Doctoral Colloquium.

The Colloquium is a one-day event dedicated, in particular, to emerging scholars in the social and environmental accounting research field. The colloquium will take place on 19th of September 2018, in the afternoon, preceding the 7th CSEAR Italian Conference that will be held at the University of Urbino on 20th and 21st September 2018.

The aim of the colloquium is to provide an opportunity for emerging scholars in social and environmental accounting to present and discuss their research projects and papers alongside a cohort of distinguished scholars. The colloquium will be relatively informal to enable intensive intellectual debate and sharing of ideas and projects with the specific purpose of encouraging constructive interaction, engagement and intellectual debate in a friendly and supportive environment.

The colloquium will combine plenary sessions with small group discussion sessions guided by a few national and international leading scholars in social accounting and accountability research.
The colloquium is organized and will be coordinated by Maria-Gabriella Baldarelli (University of Bologna), Massimo Contrafatto (University of Bergamo), Ericka Costa (University of Trento) and Mara Del Baldo (University of Urbino) with the collaboration of the members of the Scientific Committee of the 7th CSEAR Italy Conference.
