CARISCA 2026 Supply Chain Research Summit
Submissions are due by March 31, 2026
The Africa Initiative of the International Journal of Operations & Production Management (IJOPM), in collaboration with CARISCA, invites Africa-based researchers to submit working papers for its 2026 Paper Development Workshop (PDW).
The relevance and use of these technologies in African supply chains are expected to grow, given that they are not only inevitable but also have the potential to enhance multi-faceted outcomes such as organizational, supply chain, and community resilience and sustainability.
The PDW will take place during the 2026 Supply Chain Research Summit in Accra, Ghana (July 6–8, 2026) and is designed to help scholars strengthen theoretically grounded, empirical papers for publication in leading logistics, operations, and supply chain management (OSCM) journals.
Who Should Apply?
Participation is competitive and limited to 12 participants.
Selected participants will receive feedback before, during, and after the workshop to support journal submission readiness.
