Early-Career Winter Workshop

Emerging Research Opportunities and Advances in AI-Driven Research Methods
February 11–13, 2026 — Başkent University, Ankara, Türkiye

The Early-Career Winter Workshop is a collaborative initiative organized through the Academy of Management’s (AOM) Community Accelerator Program, in partnership with the Consortium for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA) and the Turkish Academy of Management (TAOM). Hosted by Başkent University in Ankara, this three-day event is designed to support early-career scholars who seek to strengthen their methodological capabilities, advance their research trajectories, and engage with emerging developments in AI-driven research methods.

The workshop brings together distinguished scholars and experienced methodologists from CARMA and AOM communities to provide hands-on training, conceptual guidance, and mentoring. Through a combination of keynote talks, interactive workshops, paper-development sessions, and mentoring circles, participants will explore how artificial intelligence is transforming management research—from theory building and literature exploration to data analysis, modeling, and research transparency.

This program reflects AOM’s commitment to fostering global scholarly communities, expanding access to high-quality methodological training, and empowering early-career researchers. CARMA’s long-standing expertise in research methods education, combined with TAOM’s rapidly growing academic network, creates a unique platform to promote collaboration, skill development, and research excellence across regions.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have refined their research ideas, strengthened their methodological toolkits, and built meaningful connections with peers and mentors—laying the foundation for impactful, innovative scholarship in the age of AI.
