[Online Event]
Middlesex University Dubai is proud to announce the Sixth Emerging Research Paradigms in Business and Social Sciences (ERPBSS) conference. The international conference will be held from 24th to 26th February, 2022 at Middlesex University Dubai Campus in Knowledge Park, Dubai. ERPBSS 2022 will be a virtual conference.
Over the last 11 years, our biennial conference, one of the highlights of the University’s calendar, has attracted hundreds of delegates from leading institutions from around the UAE and more than fifty other countries. The interdisciplinary conference provides a platform for researchers and practitioners to communicate their findings and engage in meaningful discourse with professionals from different fields, and foster local and international collaborations.
ERPBSS-2022 Conference Theme – ‘Towards a Resilient Future’
The theme of the 6th ERPBSS multidisciplinary conference is ‘resilience’ - the ability to recover from setbacks, adapt well to change, and keep going in the face of adversity. As the world emerges from the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic, we shouldn’t lose sight of the ‘resilience’ lessons we have learned and build on it to be better prepared and confront future uncertainties such as climate change or geopolitical risks. However, this requires a systemic, whole-of-society approach to resilience. The pandemic showed how interdependent we are, and how much we depend on the support of each other and the community we live in to adapt, rebound, and endure. The pandemic provided several opportunities for researchers to study the resilience of the society and its systemic interactions at various levels given that the wellsprings of resilience are equally applicable to individuals, organizations, communities, and countries. The ERPBSS 2022 conference provides a global platform for researchers and practitioners from different disciplines for sharing impactful and use-inspired research on a range of topics including the lessons learned from the pandemic and ideas shaping the post-pandemic world.
The conference hopes to engage participants from multiple disciplines on a range of emerging topics that engage with conference themes and sub-themes.
