Second Call for Papers for the 13th ENROAC conference
VENUE: Mälardalen University, Vasteras, Sweden
DATE: 13-15 June, 2023
Formed in 1999, the ENROAC network consists of academics, practitioners, and business managers who share an interest in organisational and accounting change. ENROAC has to-date enjoyed twelve conferences, in: Manchester (1999), Oslo (2000), Siena (2001), Groningen (2003), Antwerp (2005); Paris (2007), Dundee (2009), Lisbon (2011), Jyväskylä (2013), Galway (2015), Naples (2017) and London (2019).
The 13th conference will be hosted by Mälardalen University, in Vasteras (Sweden). Vasteras is a comfortable bus ride from Arlanda International airport (Stockholm).

Several key features help to define ENROAC conferences, including:
- A Practitioner’s Day, day 1, comprising plenary talks by academics and guests from business and practice. The theme for this day is “Organisations and Sustainability”.
- Academic (parallel) sessions throughout days 2 and 3, multiple themes within the general scope of the network.
- The use of Discussants in (days 2 & 3) academic presentations, guaranteeing substantial feedback to authors, plus Q&A and general discussion.
- An Informal Approach that promotes high-level intellectual thought and debate, but also leaves plenty of time for a social side and networking.
Confirmed plenary speakers from academia are:
- Professor Barbara Czarniawska, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
- Professor Carlos Larrinaga, Universidad de Burgos, Spain
- Professor John Roberts, Sydney University, Australia
The conference will begin with light refreshments at lunch on 13th June, before the Practitioner’s Day during the afternoon, which closes with a drinks reception. June 14th will be a day of academic (parallel) sessions, followed by the conference dinner that evening. Academic sessions continue on 15th June, with the conference closing in the mid-afternoon, thus allowing for those who wish to travel home that day. However, there will be an informal drinks reception at the conference close (for those who are not in any rush, or who wish to travel home later).
Fees for ENROAC conferences always compare well against similar events. As usual, we will offer substantial discounts to PhD students who wish to attend. Prices and registration will soon be available on a conference website (under construction). Also available of the conference website soon, will be details of the paper submission process. As with previous ENROAC conferences, initial submission can be either in the form of an extended abstract or a full paper. However, if accepted, full papers will subsequently be required in advance, to enable discussants in preparing their constructive comments.
