IRM2021 – International Research Methods Conference and Writing Retreat 2021 will be held online and hosted by IBBS and TPLondon on MS Teams. IRM conferences have proven to be very productive and important in academic development of experienced as well as inexperienced researchers, scholars and students. Guided discussion panels, workshops and one-to-one personal development reviews are substantial value-adding features of the conference and offered by very experienced international academics with proven track record of publication and grant writing. Past IRM conferences can be found here.
