About the Project

The objective of the Bridging Accounting Research Methodologies (BAM) is to establish a long-lasting exchange platform for early career researchers in accounting. Through conferences/workshops and lecture series we aim to facilitate networking opportunities, provide research support through peer feedback, and foster new research ideas that encompass different methodologies in accounting research.

This network aims to help early-career researchers to overcome challenges such as limited opportunities for feedback, difficulty of getting published in top journals, limited exposure, or methodology selection. It addresses these challenges by providing a supportive environment and facilitating collaboration.

BAM Network is supported by Rhein-Main University Alliance Funding line „ECR“ in RMU Initiative Funding for Research.
