BRICS Workshop focuses on international research cooperation
02/03/2015
From 13 to 14 November 2014, around 30 academics from partner universities and business schools in Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa (BRICS) joined professors from IÉSEG for a two-day event designed to enhance research collaboration between the participants.
Over two days, the workshop at the IÉSEG campus in Paris focused around a series of 12 thematic sessions that provided researchers with the opportunity to exchange and discuss ideas, present working papers or future projects in their field of expertise.
These covered a wide range topics including central banking; corporate finance; corporate social responsibility; environment and sustainable development; new technologies and customer behaviour; corporate governance practices and their business impact: economics and health management; market finance; quantitative economics; and the strategic use of information technology (IT) in organizations.
This is the first time that IÉSEG has organized this type of international workshop focusing on research collaboration with partners in the BRICS countries. The aim, following the fruitful exchanges, is now to see if common research projects can be developed in the months and years to come and to examine possibilities for joint PhD supervision between partners, or for collaborating on similar events in the future.
More details about the workshop and the institutions that participated is available on the IÉSEG website.
