After the success of the 2025-2026 Emerging Scholar Forum, TIAMSA is delighted to announce its call for participation in the second cohort of the program. The ESF seeks to support graduate students and recent Postdoctoral graduates who are conducting research in the field of art market studies. The program is led by Véronique Chagnon-Burke, Anne-Sophie Radermecker, and Georgina Walker, with the administrative support of Masoom Pincha.
Aims, objectives and possible outcomes:
Aim: TIAMSA Emerging Scholars Forum will host a series of events throughout the year that will provide emerging scholars, graduate students and recent PhD graduates with a platform for knowledge sharing, academic mentorship and networking opportunities.
This Forum is intended to be interdisciplinary and seeks to support graduate students and Early Career Researchers across diverse academic fields with a particular focus on art market-related topics.
Objectives: To provide a structured program of events that include:

• Mentorship of Early Career Researchers/scholars and their academic development
• Network building
• Prizes or awards for publications (acknowledgement of contributions to the field)
• Sponsorship and support of applications
• Alumni database
Audience:
This forum is dedicated to graduate students and emerging scholars. Emerging scholars may be current graduate students (MAs or PhDs) and Early Career Researchers who have been conferred in the past three years.
Criteria to participate:
• Self-funded researchers: a letter of recommendation by employer if relevant (internship supervisor would be acceptable) or research supervisor or prospective supervisor
• MA. PhD students: evidence of enrollment in an MA/PhD program
