IABS Strategic Initiatives
Call for Proposals 2026

In 2025, IABS relaunched the Strategic Initiatives program to strengthen research development beyond regions/countries where both IABS membership and business and society scholarship are less established. In 2026, we will continue to build on this strategic focus. While we welcome all proposals that advance our strategic objectives, priority will be given to those that strengthen research capacity in regions currently underrepresented in IABS membership. Members from any region or country may apply. Illustrative projects include manuscript development workshops, research incubators, and collaborative research teams that engage scholars from these regions. 

We therefore invite proposals for projects aimed at advancing research development in regions where IABS is currently underrepresented. For more details on submitting proposals, please see the full Call for Proposals.
