The aim of this workshop in English, which will be streamed via the Collaborate platform, is twofold. First, we will share some general ideas about collaborative consumption and sharing economy platforms. Second, we will explore and discuss future challenges in this setting (and research opportunities).

This is an opportunity to meet international researchers working in this field and enhance your network. Various international academics will take part, presenting their main findings on the digital platform business models.
