Hello all :)

Research Seminar on the Sharing Economy

23th of June at the University Pontificia Comillas, Madrid

Research teams from both, the University Pontificia Comillas and OuiShare encourage all those who are currently doing research on the sharing economy to, please share it with us.

This one-day research seminar seeks to:

Offer an opportunity to researchers to discuss their work with peers and receive feedback and suggestions so that to raise the publication opportunities.
Learning of state-of-the-art research on this field.
Network and meet potential partners to learn from and enjoy doing research with.

The seminar aims to address the sharing economy from a multidisciplinary angle. Therefore, we invite researchers from different disciplines and methods to send their work. Inter alia, we are interested in:

Main drivers of the sharing economy.
Business models based on collaborative practices.
Sharing in making and distributing.
Co-creation and co-distribution of value.
Economic, societal and environmental outcomes of the sharing economy.
Consumers and the sharing economy
Managerial learnings of the sharing economy.
Legal issues attached to the sharing economy.

10 papers will be selected to be presented in this research seminar. Each presenter will be given 20 minutes to explain the research, plus 10 minutes of Q&A. A wrap session will allow to make connections and outline a future research agenda.
