The Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA), partnering with the China Institute for Philanthropy and Social Innovation at Renmin University of China’s School of Public Administration and Policy, will jointly host the first-ever ARNOVA-Asia Conference. 

This meeting is an effort to encourage dialogue across scholars working in some dimension of nonprofit and voluntary action studies. These dimensions include but are not limited to the following:

- Operations and mechanics of nonprofit organizations and social enterprises;
- Management, leadership, and governance of nonprofit organizations;
- Collaboration of nonprofit organizations within and across sectors;
- The influence of political and cultural contexts on voluntary organizations;
- Funding or giving to, and volunteering or participating with, nonprofit organizations;
- The role of nonprofits in cultivating grassroots action, driving social innovation, and shaping public policy

Papers accepted by the ARNOVA-Asia Conference will be considered for possible publication in a series of thematic symposiums (or mini-symposiums) with our partner journals: Administration & Society, Nonprofit & Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Nonprofit Management & Leadership, Public Performance & Management Review, and Voluntaristics Review. All the submissions would go through the regular blind review process and be subject to the same quality standards set by the journal.
