Events

Main conferences | Mini conferences | Workshops

The Leverhulme Digital Transformations Programme supports a range of events to broaden dialogue with the research and policy community in the UK, Europe and globally.

Three main types of events are supported under the Programme: main conferences, mini conferences and workshops. Main conferences address all of the Programme's work themes and include a number of leading experts and scholars from around the world in a multi-day event. The first of two main conferences held under the auspices of the Programme was held in October 2003 at London Business School. Full details of the event, including presentations and papers, are provided on the "Main Conferences" webpage. Mini conferences are more focused in topic and participants, tackling a particular topic of interest to a Programme work theme over a day's session of presentations and discussion. Two mini conferences have been held to date on the transformation of value chains and the mis-measurement of ICT. Finally, workshops are more informal events for the presentation and discussion of work in progress and collaborative research with our local research community and our research partners.
