A Look Back at the 2nd Annual Research Lab Day

Published on in Event

At 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 plans for 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 desk rejection. 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 aligned with the university’s overarching priorities:Feed Care – Protect,” “Housing,” “Innovate,” and other themes.

The discussions were engaging, with researchers contributing their expertise and unique perspectives on the issues at hand. The discussions focused on several key areas, 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 up 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 beautiful landscape of Toreilles Beach. This lunch break gave participants a chance to relax and enjoy each other’s company while recharging their batteries in preparation for the rest of the program.

 

Conclusion and Future Outlook

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 ideas and exchange insights. We are grateful to all participants for their contributions to this successful event. We hope this day served as a springboard for new collaborations and research ideas. We look forward to seeing you again at the next edition of this exciting event.
