Submissions

According to the IESS tradition, IESS 2.3 will cover significant areas of research and education related to service science and service innovation, including new emerging research trends. In the IESS conferences, the digital part of services constitutes the main component of Service Science exploration.

Contributions grounded in multi-disciplinary approaches to enable transdisciplinary services are particularly encouraged. They will explore traditional disciplines, like IT, justice, medicine and health, economy, private and public administration, and engineering, to rebuild some of their foundations for creating transdisciplinary services.
