FMOS 2023 - FMOS Research Conference

12-01-2023

At the crossroad of Finance, Marketing and Operations for Sustainable Business

FMOS Conference is the first of a series of online events to gather researchers, especially the forthcoming generation of scholars, and disseminate their works on sustainability at the crossroads of finance, marketing and operations. A fantastic occasion to meet and share ideas for a more sustainable business.

The event consists of two parts: A workshop restricted to a limited number of young scholars (PhD candidates, MRes students or equivalent) and a traditional research conference. The event will take place entirely online. Students, scholars and practitioners who do not plan to present a paper are also welcome to join the conference.

Helping improve human knowledge, one study at a time.
How can companies be more productive and creative? How can we encourage environmentally sustainable behaviour? How can we be healthier and happier?

Why do we do this? Because we believe that the best decisions are supported by data. The mission of Prolific is to make trustworthy data more accessible to everybody – from individuals to businesses to governments – and facilitate world-changing research.
