Who We're Looking For:
We welcome ICHRIE members from diverse backgrounds and expertise levels, including researchers, academics, students, early career professionals, and industry experts.

We are searching for individuals who are not only passionate but also committed to our cause. You might be well suited to participate in the ICHRIE Global Research Marathon if you:
• Are willing to invest time and effort into research projects and initiatives
• Are eager to collaborate and contribute actively to research projects
• Have a history of theory-based publications if you are interested in the theoretical research track

How to Join:
If you are interested in participating in the 2024 Research Marathon, please fill out the survey: https://ecu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9NccbmIxjQEyLXw

SURVEY DUE: 15 DECEMBER 2023

Expectations:
• Teams are required to attend the kick-off session.
• Teams are required to meet regularly once every two or three weeks.
• Each team consists of members based in North America, Europe, and Asia. Finding a time for regular meetings that works for everyone will be a challenge but remember one of the purposes of the Global Research Marathon is connecting people from all over the world.
• One group member needs to be physically present at each conference.
• There may be too many team members and not everyone was committed to the work. If there are team members do not contribute to the project, they can be let go. This is another reason for a big group size – not everyone in the team will make it through the final stage.
