MSI Young Scholars

About the Program

The Young Scholars Program was conceived and organized nearly two decades ago by a diverse group of marketing scholars whose interests spanned all disciplines within marketing. Recognizing the lack of interactions across these domains, MSI convened a conference to bring these perspectives together and develop a cohesive class of elite scholars within marketing.

Today, the biennial program continues to bring together many of the best young marketing academics in the world. MSI hosts a four-day gathering to provide a forum for these scholars to discuss their research, to encourage future collaboration, and to foster their interest in solving real-world marketing problems. The alumni of Young Scholars now number nearly 300; these academic leaders are teaching and conducting research in the top universities around the world, impacting marketing practice and theory in new and creative ways.

Eligibility and Application Process

We seek both self-nominations by eligible scholars and senior faculty nominations endorsing a candidate.

How to Nominate a Candidate

We ask senior faculty in the field to nominate deserving candidates by taking two steps.

  • First, send an email to executivedirector@msi.org with the name, email, and web page of the nominee.
  • Second, please email the nominee to let that person know that you endorsed them and to encourage them to apply and forward the Call for Nominations and Self-Nominations. Your endorsement is informative to us, we hope your encouragement will motivate that person to apply.  We will also send a note to your nominee to second your encouragement.

 

How to Self-Nominate

To be selected, candidates must complete a self-nomination. The application form requires:

  • contact information;
  • a PDF of your professional vita;
  • 1-2 page summary of your most important findings, discussing implications for marketing practice by MSI members, including connections to MSI’s Research Priorities and a paragraph summary of the substantive contributions of your two most important papers in the past five years. Mention key professional recognitions (best article awards, etc) and other evidence of academic or real-world impact.
  • Upload a Web of Science summary file (Click here for the instructions)

 

Selections were made in September, 2023 at which time all applicants received notification from MSI and the Young Scholars Committee regarding their application for the Young Scholars Class of 2023. Selected scholars were asked to commit to attending the conference as a firm condition for receiving this prestigious honor and should anticipate active engagement with MSI following the conference. The conference registration fee was $875.

The application process has closed.

For any questions please contact research@msi.org.
