HSBI's Bielefeld School of Business has been organising an annual international conference with application-related business topics since 2022. The conference aims to provide a platform where international academics and companies can discuss issues within the context of a current topic. There is very close cooperation with business representatives, international partner universities and political actors.
This year's topic is: “Bridges for Impact: Linking Science, Economy, Politics, and Society”
After the keynote speeches from science, politics and business, there will be a plenary discussion. Then the researchers will present papers in compact, engaging slams - clear, entertaining, and accessible.
