Gisma announces International Research Conference for 2023

The conference has been organised by Professor Dr Varun Gupta, Faculty Member at Gisma, in collaboration with INSERAS Research Group and Universidad de Alcalá, Spain and will take place from Thursday 24 to Friday 25 August 2023.

The conference will be held at GISMA’s Potsdam campus in Germany and proceedings will be published by Springer, a German multinational publishing company of books and peer-reviewed journals in science, humanities, technical and medical publishing. The proceedings will be abstracted and indexed in Scopus.

Professor Varun said: “The primary goal of the conference is to bring together international researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to innovation management in an SMEs context.”

The focus will be on innovation management strategies adopted by SMEs during the pandemic, which could become useful lessons for the ‘new normal’. The target is to focus on the latest trends, techniques and application areas of Innovation Management.

An extended version of the selected papers presented at the conference will be considered in the Special Issues of System Journal (2.895 Impact Factor, JCR/SSCI Indexed, Scopus Indexed, Q2 ranked) and Data Journal (ESCI, Scopus indexed, Q2). Further collaborations with leading journals are planned and will be published soon online.
