Thanks!
. In June
2009, our European conferences will be in Prague, Czech Republic.
June 8-11,
2009, tentative. Hotel will be announced soon.
Often
called “The City of One Hundred Spires”, Prague is one of the oldest
and most beautiful cities in Europe. The oldest castle complex
on earth is in Prague!
Since it was never bombed in
World War II, the architecture and historical sites date back
hundreds and even thousands of years.
We
will have the hotel & dates for this conference by sometime in July
or early August.
The Rothenburg
Conferences are over. Thanks!
The
College Teaching & Learning (TLC) Conference and European
Applied Business Research (EABR) Conference are
being held at the Zum Rappen Hotel in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany, on
June 18 - 20, 2008.
The TLC Conference provides a forum for faculty and administrators to share proven and innovative methods in teaching at the
college level. Come to present papers on teaching issues such as: curriculum, ethics in higher education, promotion and
tenure, accreditation, teaching methods and styles, administration, faculty welfare, technology in the classroom, teacher
evaluation, department-specific issues, and related topics.
The EABR Conference provides a forum for faculty to present their
research on any business, economics, or business-related topic. For
both conferences, a Best Paper Award is issued for the best paper in
each session. Papers winning the Best Paper Award will
automatically be reviewed
for possible publication in one of our academic journals. Papers not
winning an award may also be submitted for journal review.
For those who cannot
attend the conference and still wish to present a paper at this
conference, we now offer an E-session for your
convenience. You still must pay the registration fee and submit
a paper; however rather than physically attending the
conference, your paper will be available electronically at the
conference for viewing and comments. We will need your
presentation emailed to us in PowerPoint format, or with
"voice-over"
PowerPoint, by May 28, 2008 (extended
deadline).
You are invited to attend the
conference, even if you choose not to present a paper.
Please register for either conference and you may attend both for
one registration fee. Please put "Attending only" in the paper
title line on the registration form.

History and
Social Activities
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the best
preserved old walled city in Germany. Only about two hours by
train from either Munich or Frankfurt, it is a great place to sample
the real Germany. Two of our favorite things to do in
Rothenberg--find a Biergarten (Brew Pub) for a taste of German beer
and take the Night Watchman's tour along the wall for an enjoyable
guided tour.

Benefits of Attending the
EABR

- We offer a
variety of sessions: regular, e-session,
workshop, panel, and poster.
- Professors
will be able to improve research and teaching
skills.
- For those who
cannot attend the conference for whatever
reason, our e-session offers them the
opportunity to present their papers
electronically and still receive their peers'
feedback.
- Papers
winning the Best Paper Award will automatically
be reviewed for possible publication in
one of our academic journals. All of our
journals are listed in appropriate Cabell's
directories.
- All accepted
papers/abstracts are double-blind reviewed and
will be published in our refereed conference
proceedings, unless otherwise requested.
- "Abstract
only" publications in the conference proceedings
are permitted. The proceedings are not
copyrighted, allowing authors to submit their
papers to other journals and conferences.
- Conference
attendee voting will determine recipients of
both the TLC and IBER conference Best Paper
awards. However, to actually win a Best Paper
Award or to be considered for publication in one
of our academic journals, we must have the
completed paper to evaluate.
- Faculty may
organize a session, invite participants, and
serve as the session chair. If you are
interested, please contact the conference chair,
Ronald C. Clute, Ph.D. at

Conference Fees
Fees for the 2008 EABR and TLC Conferences are:
- To attend one or both conferences (whether or not a paper is
being presented), there is a total one-time registration fee of
$350.00 per attendee. This fee includes: admission to both
conferences' presentations and workshops, a 20-minute time slot to
present one paper at one of the two conferences, and a copy of the
conference program. The proceedings will be available to
download off of our website after the conference. If you
wish to have a conference CD, please pay the additional $10 for each
when you pay your conference registration fees. All attending
conference participants must pay the registration fee and at least
one author per paper must attend, unless the paper is being
presented in our e-sessions.
- To present an additional paper at either conference, or to
present the same paper at both conferences, there is an added fee of
$100.00 per paper. For example:
- A faculty member may register for one conference and present
the same paper at both conferences for a total of $450.00.
- A faculty member may register for both conferences ($350.00
fee includes admittance to both) and present two papers at the
same conference for a total of $450.00.
The registration fee must
be received by May 28, 2008
(extended deadline), to assure scheduling in the program.
There is a $50 fee on cancellations received between
May 18 and

FAQ'S
|
1. Dress
Code:
We do not have a dress code; what goes for classroom
attire goes for the conference. The important
thing is to be comfortable.
2. Presentation Room Equipment: Each
presentation room will be equipped with a laptop,
data projector and screen for PowerPoint
presentations. There will not, however, be a
transparency projector. Please bring your
presentation on a flash drive or USB drive, as well
as 10 - 15 copies of your paper for distribution.
3. Session Timing: We plan to allow
approximately 20 minutes for each presentation.
4. Best Airfare: Consult with your travel
agent and the Internet (priceline.com,
cheaptickets.com, expedia.com, and lowestfare.com)
for the lowest fare. We permit last-minute changes
in your presentation schedule to accommodate your
travel arrangements.
5. CPE Credit: Professionals seeking
Continuing Professional Education Credit should
contact the conference chair or indicate on the
Registration Form that they must receive CPE credit
for attending the conference. Necessary
paperwork is required and will be available at the
conference registration desk.
6. Organize a Session: Faculty may organize
their own session, invite participants, and serve as
the session chair. Please contact us at
Staff@CluteInstitute.com
to make arrangements.
7. Late Submission: If you missed a
deadline, please email
Staff@CluteInstitute.com.
8. Abstract-Only Publications: Authors
often elect to publish only the abstract of their
presentation in the conference proceedings. This
effectively gives the author until the conference
date to complete the paper. This also means that the
author is free to submit the paper to another
journal without copyright consequences. This is
possible because the paper has never been published
elsewhere since only the abstract was published in
the proceedings. The Clute Institute does not
copyright the proceedings, which means that authors
are still free to do as they see fit with the
paper. Consequently, authors can claim academic
credit for a conference presentation, a refereed
conference proceedings publication, and possibly a
journal publication (from one of our journals or a
different journal) from one piece of research.
9. Republishing A
Presentation: Authors are free to publish their
presentation elsewhere without fear of copyright
problems and without permission from the Clute
Institute. However, conference papers that are
selected for and published in one of our journals
are copyrighted by the Clute Institute with the
copyright given back to the author. We do this
because we need to protect ourselves in case the
paper has been plagiarized. Papers are only
published in one of our journals with the consent of
the author.
10. Attending Only: You may attend both
the teaching and the business conference at one
location for one
registration fee. A Registration Form for either
conference is all that is needed (obtained from the
"Registration Form" links above) as well as the
registration fee. Please indicate "attending only"
in the line for the paper title. |

approximately one week to 10 days before
the conference.
