The Tirana EGOS Local Hub wants to widen access and raise the region’s voice in organization studies. Tirana is a natural convening point for the Western Balkans and nearby Mediterranean scholars. We will bring together early-career researchers, senior academics, and practitioners working on public administration, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. Participants will leave with sharper arguments, improved drafts, and concrete co-authoring leads. The hub will combine synchronized viewing of selected sub-themes with curated local programming, including, but not limited to, rapid-fire paper clinics and methods roundtables. We intend to add purposeful networking in small, curated groups. Logistically, we can meet the technical requirements for stable streaming and hybrid interaction, provide accessible facilities, and uphold EGOS’ inclusion standards.

What to expect

  • Local experience of EGOS as a scholarly community

  • Feedback and concrete edits in your manuscripts during the paper clinic

  • Sozializing with a community of enthusiastic early career scholars

About the host

The Department of Business Administration at the University of New York Tirana (UNYT) is a research-active unit spanning strategy, entrepreneurship, and public policy. We host a vivid community of early-career scholars, mentored by senior faculty, and collaborate with colleagues at leading European universities (e.g., Cagliari, Birmingham). Our culture prizes rigor and theorizing. We run paper-development clinics, methods seminars, and cross-disciplinary reading groups. The project pipeline includes multiple funded and in-progress studies on entrepreneurship, sustainability, and governance, with further proposals under review. The central campus offers reliable hybrid rooms (HD streaming/recording), accessible facilities, and event logistics support (registration, procurement, media).
