The International Music Business Research Association (IMBRA) is an interdisciplinary association for the research in music business. IMBRA aims to facilitate and present the latest research concerning the structures and processes within the music business/industries. The association defines the music business in its broadest sense to include not only the production, distribution and reception of music, but also music training and teaching as well as supporting industries such as musical instrument manufacturing, the media and advertising.

Call for Papers: Young Scholars’ Workshop
The Young Scholars’ Workshop is part of the 15th International Music Business Research Days. Young researchers are invited to submit abstracts from all disciplines exploring questions that help understand economic and managerial problems as well as processes in the music sector and in the field of music management. The Young Scholars’ Workshop will be co-organized by the IJK and the GMM e.V., the German branch of the IMBRA: A society for music business and music culture research.
We encourage early-stage researchers, either in the beginning of their doctorate projects, or in the beginning of their academic careers, to submit paper abstracts. There are many questions that call for investigation in music business research, for example, in the fields of ecosystem transformations, the fields of digital change (AI, streaming, DIY, fan engagement, change in business models, markets and value creation), in Policy & Legislation (sustainability, cultural policy, commercialization and entrepreneurship) and in Education & Research (ecosystem entrepreneurship, new competences, music and health, curriculum in music business in its broadest sense, and the preparation of students for a sustainable future of music ecosystems ).
These research questions are not exhaustive, papers may also address other aspects. The workshop organizers strongly encourage submissions from students at all levels of MA & PhD. Students are supposed to work on their MA or PhD thesis and discuss it with senior researchers of music business research.
SUBMISSION: Please submit your abstract by May 15th to imbra@ijk.hmtm-hannover.de Abstracts should be 500 up to 750 words (any references are included in the word count) and should include:
- Objectives of the research and research question
- Brief description of the disciplinary/theoretical context/background
- Data and methods
- Main or expected conclusions / contribution
Please email your proposal with “YSW 2024”. Proposals must be submitted as pdf-documents and should include contact information, at least affiliation, e-mail address, telephone number and postal address of the author(s).
A maximum of 6-8 papers will be selected for presentation to guarantee a good workshop atmosphere. The sessions will combine paper presentations and discussions. The Young Scholars Research Day will take place on June 5th.
