Within the initiative we cover substantive topics that include marketing analytics, health, digital markets, digital innovation, digital transformation, and others.

The scholarship holder will be working closely with the principal researchers and will have the opportunity to participate in research seminars, workshops, and soft-skill courses. Moreover, they will be part of a vibrant and international research network centered around the Marketing, Information Systems, Operations, and Corporate Development.
