A Look Back at the 2nd Annual Research Lab Day

During the second annual MRM Day, held on June 30, 2023, doctoral students, faculty members, and administrative staff from the MRM laboratory gathered to share their ideas and projects regarding the future of our research laboratory. The day was marked by stimulating discussions, innovative ideas, and a clear vision for the future. Let’s take a look back at the highlights of this exceptional day.

 

Roundtable Discussion: Best Practices for Publishing Internationally

We were pleased to welcome Prof.Aziza Laguecir(CCA journal), Prof.Anne-Sophie Fernandez(M@n@gement journal), Prof.Gilles N’Goala(Décisions Marketing journal), and Prof.Agnès Mazars-Chapelon(ACCRA journal), who began by presenting their respective journals and then offered researchers advice on how to avoid a “desk reject.” This was followed by a discussion session, during which attendees were able to ask questions.

 

Hot Topics Workshops

The lab members were divided into multidisciplinary teams to explore topics that aligned with the university’s overarching priorities: “Feed —Care—Protect,” “Housing,” “Innovation,” as well as other themes.

The discussions were engaging, with researchers contributing their expertise and unique perspectives on the issues addressed. The discussions focused on several key points, including the theoretical framework, methodology, and sectors of activity, as well as corporate social responsibility and health. These exchanges not only strengthened the bonds among the laboratory’s members but also opened the door to exploring new avenues for research and collaboration.

 

Lunch break by the sea

To ensure a productive and enjoyable day, a lunch break was organized on the beach, offering a breathtaking view of the magnificent landscape of Toreilles Plage. This lunch break allowed participants to relax and enjoy each other’s company while recharging their energy in preparation for the rest of the program.

 

Conclusion and Future Prospects

The day concluded with a wrap-up session, during which the working groups presented their recommendations and ideas to the other participants.

This second edition of the MRM Lab Day was an opportunity for our team members to share and exchange ideas. We are grateful to all the participants for their contributions to this successful event. We hope this day served as a springboard for new collaborations and new research ideas. We look forward to seeing you again at the next edition of this exciting event.
