The scientific committee of the DIF invites you to submit your paper in various areas of Digital, Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Financing for an in-person presentation at INSEEC, Lyon Campus.
Due to Covid-19 situation during the winter of 2021, the DIF organizing committee decided to organize the conference in two steps:
- online sessions took place on December 20 and 21, 2021
- in-person conference is scheduled on June 30 and July 1, 2022.
We made this decision to split the event to help preventing the spread of COVID-19 and hope to have an in-person conference to better promote exchanges between researchers, which we believe are crucial to create new knowledge and collaborations.
The December sessions were a great success, and we hope to continue with the in-person conference in June 2022....
