Doctors Marta Mas and Frederic Marimon received funding from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities for a three-year project called: “Improvement of quality in collaborative consumption companies: model, scale and loyalty”. It is framed within the call for “Research Challenges” R&D&I Projects corresponding to the State Plan for R&D&I Aimed at Society Challenges, within the framework of the 2017-2020 State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation.

Both researchers hope to obtain outputs in frontier knowledge in quality analysis of businesses set within the paradigm of collaborative economy.

In addition, the project led by the dean and vice-dean of the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences will enable interaction with collaborative economy businesses, particularly with emerging companies, who operate through a platform that aids the connection between suppliers and clients.

The Faculty is leading the project and other national and international universities and business schools are also collaborating.
