Marina Bos-de Vos wins EURAM best paper award
At the end of June, IDE Assistant Professor of Strategic Design for Ecosystem Innovation, Marina Bos-de Vos, won two awards as a first author at the European Academy of Management (EURAM) Conference for her research paper "Projecting for accelerating sustainability transitions: practices of joint value creation in circular economy programs". The paper was co-authored by Professor Miia Martinsuo (University of Turku) and Dr. Ellen Loots (Erasmus University Rotterdam).
Not only did they take home the Project Organizing SIG best paper award, but they were also chosen as recipients of the EURAM Best Conference Paper award. This was quite the accomplishment, as close to 2,000 other papers were submitted to the conference.
About the Paper
Their paper investigates leading circular economy (CE) programs in the Netherlands and shows how actors in these programmes have different understandings of how they want to accelerate the CE (which they refer to as modes of projecting). These require different practices of joint value creation. The paper contributes new knowledge on how joint value creation practices can be better aligned with specific types of transition programs and/or modes of projecting.
