IMAT 2021: Innovation for Modern Advanced Teaching

Digital Economy, Education & Sustainability: New corporate and educational challenges

We are pleased to announce that the VII International Conference on Innovation for Modern Advanced Teaching - IMAT 2021 will be held on the 1st and 2nd of July 2021 in Valencia. IMAT is organised by ESIC Business & Marketing School and the Miguel Hernández University. On the 30th of June, a workshop on Partial Least Squares (PLS) will take place. The fee for this workshop is included in the conference fee.

IMAT 2021 2021 focuses on education and the digital economy as challenges for this new decade, as this conjunctural situation defies conventional assumptions in research in these areas. Research must provide society with the tools to make the most of this reality, unveiling new and untapped opportunities.

The main objective of IMAT is to create a network of expert researchers, entrepreneurs and institutional representatives who contribute their knowledge on trends in innovation and education in the digital economy.

With this call, we invite you to participate in IMAT by sending your contributions to share your research, results and innovative experiences.

Organizer: ESIC Business & Marketing School (Spain) and the Miguel Hernández University (Spain)

Conference Date: 1 st and 2 nd of July 2021 in Valencia, Spain
