HTH2021: 2d International Research Symposium: Business Resilience in Hospitality Hotelschool the Hague (Online) Amsterdam, Netherlands, April 15-16, 2021

2d International Hotelschool The Hague Research Symposium: Business Resilience in Hospitality

The current situation presents many challenges for the celebration of professional meetings, but also opportunities to increase the interaction between researchers from different institutes and across borders. This year’s Research Symposium will not revolve around the presentation of peer-reviewed papers, but instead around establishing cooperations in international research leading to publishable and impactful co-authored work as a result of and after the event.

The purpose of the Hotelschool The Hague research meetings is twofold: to bridge the gap between academic research and professional practice, and to support and enable researchers to turn their studies into high quality publications. The event will run from 1 March 2021 until 2 July 2021:

In March 2021, we will bring together international researchers who wish to initiate joint research with international colleagues related to the topic of ‘Business Resilience’, leading to co-authored studies by the end of the period (July 2021).

On 15-16 April, Hotelschool The Hague will organise plenary debates around Business Resilience, and will invite those researchers who have started joint projects to present their preliminary findings. The objective of the conference is to provide researchers with actionable feedback.

In July 2021, Hotelschool The Hague will organise a publication outlet for the conference proceedings. However, authors are encouraged to submit their publication to their preferred journal.

Researchers who wish to take part in the research tracks can opt for:
