Challenges in economic and technological development

The Enterprise Theory and Practice Doctoral School organises the multidisciplinary scientific conference titled

Challenges in economic and technological development

for PhD students and young researchers

Date: 15‐16 October, 2015

The conference will be held together with the 9th International Conference of the Faculty of Economics, University of Miskolc.

 

Call for Papers

Over the past couple of decades we have seen how technological advances and economic development can lead to decreasing global inequalities. The very same developments however increase the inequality within nations; they tend to endanger the jobs of the lowest paid and the least educated people; they may even lead to the rise of new economic core regions, and to the decline of traditional ones.
We invite doctoral students and young researchers specialised in business and economics, social sciences, engineering or natural sciences to contribute their papers discussing an aspect of our main topic. Submitted papers will be peer reviewed before the conference. The revised papers will be published in our conference proceedings(proceedings CD and online), as well as uploaded to the RePEc database. The best papers will be published in Theory, Methodology, Practice (http://tmp.gtk.uni‐ miskolc.hu).
