  • The 14th Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Accounting Conference and Emerging Scholars Colloquium

Annelies Fievez at the 14th Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Accounting Conference
Last week, Annelies Fievez had the wonderful opportunity to attend the 14th Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Accounting Conference and present her research on social and environmental reporting at the Emerging Scholars Colloquium. The conference was held at the beautiful Royal Holloway, University of London. It was a lovely week, reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new colleagues, and receiving valuable feedback on our ongoing work.
  • European Network on Experimental Accounting Research Doctoral Colloquium and Conference

Fien Rubben, Melissa Verniest and Dwight Waeye participated in the 2024 ENEAR Conference. It was a very pleasant experience where they got to meet many international scholars with shared research interests. They can't wait for the next ENEAR conference in the summer of 2026. 
  • Melissa Verniest participated in the doctoral colloquium and presented her working paper titled "How performance-based prosocial incentives affect employees' creative performance", co-authored with Sophie Maussen, on the conference. The discussion by Ajanee Ranasinghe sparked new insights which will certainly enhance the quality of the paper.
  • Dwight Waeye participated in the doctoral colloquium as well and presented his working paper titled "Aligning Whistleblowers’ Mixed Motives Through Social Norm Perceptions: The Role of Financial Incentives and Systematic Audits", co-authored with Sophie Maussen, on the conference. The discussion by Jeremiah Bentley will certainly improve the quality of the paper. 
  • Furthermore, Sophie Maussen, Melissa Verniest and Dwight Waeye's research proposal on collusive behavior among managers was presented on the conference and resulted in a lively discussion with the audience. The authors are very grateful for the opportunity they received to present this research proposal as well the helpful feedback.
