The European Conference on Research Methodology in Business and Management (ECRM) is a long-standing academic conference, held annually for 25 years, dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of research methodologies in the fields of business and management. The conference provides a forum for scholars, researchers, and practitioners to share insights, explore new approaches, and discuss the challenges and innovations in research methods. ECRM is known for its rigorous peer-reviewed open access proceedings, ensuring that the research presented meets high academic standards. By covering a wide range of methodological issues and innovations, the conference plays a crucial role in shaping the future of research in business and management, promoting the development of robust and impactful research practices. In 2027 the 26th European Conference on Research Methodology in Business and Management (ECRM) will be held as a fully virtual event, allowing for an accessible meeting place for researchers to meet and discuss their ideas.
