The aim of the Effectuation Conference is to address the issues of researching and teaching effectuation. It is a combination of interactive seminars on teaching and research, small research clinics where papers are discussed, and workshops.

Our hosts will be Tommy Høyvarde Clausen, Gry Agnete Alsos and Sølvi Solvoll. The organizing team also comprises René Mauer (ESCP Europe Berlin), Tiago Ratinho (University of Baltimore), Philippe Silberzahn (EMLYON), and last but not least our ever committed stakeholders Stuart Read (Willamette University) and Saras Sarasvathy (Darden Business School).
