​

Following a successful conference with over 180 scholars and practionners as participants, we cordially invite you to participate in the 2nd edition of the GIGS Summer Governance and Sustaibility Symposium (July 7-10, 2023) in Hammamet, Tunisia.

 

The symposium is to provide an unparalleled opportunity for scholars and practitioners in accounting, finance, and economics to get together in a refreshing and inspiring setting to engage in stimulating transdisciplinary conversation and debate that takes our scholarship to new heights. What better place to renew old and begin new friendships, to engage with and inspire each other than the breath-taking beaches and blue sky of Hammamet, Tunisia. 
 
Because GIGS aims to promote an integrative and interdisciplinary understanding, education and practical implementation of state-of-the-art systems of governance and sustainable development and to allow scholars the freedom to explore without the constraints of formatting and robustness tests, we invite you to select the paper you want to present. Should you present, you will be paired with another renowned scholar who will discuss your paper. In return, please commit to discuss one or two papers. We believe this unconventional approach for encouraging each other to bring out and share those not-quite-finished papers in a supportive setting creates an atmosphere and excitement that spills over to interchanges that continue long after the conference ends. 
 
You can secure a spot by registering now on the link below. Please register by April 30, 2023, if you plan to attend. We will send you a reminder on April 15, 2023. We understand the concerns about the new Omicron COVID variant. Should your plans change after the registration, we will refund registration fees from now until June 30, 2023.
