AI Plus Management Doctoral Consortium

7–8 May 2026

UCL School of Management, London UK

About the consortium

We are at the early stages of seeing how generative AI will affect management, organizations, industries, and society. The impacts of generative AI on management have already proven to be wide ranging and dramatic. Studying these various impacts and implications offers students at all stages of their doctoral careers a significant opportunity to craft a long-term research agenda. We hope to create a community of faculty and doctoral students across disciplines who are passionate about studying generative AI. During our time together, we hope that students have the opportunity to develop their ideas and research, get to know faculty across different universities, and meet fellow doctoral students.

Who should apply

We welcome doctoral students doing research on generative AI across disciplines, including: accounting and finance, economics, information systems, marketing, operations, organizational behavior, and strategy and entrepreneurship. We also welcome researchers from diverse methodological traditions, including (but not limited to) qualitative, quantitative, experimental, and theoretical.

We invite doctoral students at all stages to apply for the consortium.
