21st IGWT SYMPOSIUM IN ROME & GAETA

We are happy to invite you to the 21^st IGWT Symposium, which will be organized by the Department of Business Studies at Roma Tre University.

The Symposium title for this edition is: “Sustainability, Quality and Innovation: A Global View of Commodity Sciences”, and the Scientific and Cultural program will take place between Rome and Gaeta, from September 20^th to the 25^th, 2018.

As the sustainability concept is based on three main pillars, the economic, the environmental and the social one, the evolution of Commodity Sciences’ studies in recent years is following different paths of research. If the final goal remains the creation of value for the products and services given to the final customers, the global environment in which companies have to compete presents every day new challenges.

Therefore, we decided to focus this year’s Symposium on three of the main pillars of our studies, always characterized by their multidisciplinary approach.

Sustainability, quality and technological innovation are relevant drivers for companies’ competitiveness, considering their capability to improve products and processes by different points of view.

The 21^st IGWT Symposium will focus on these aspects, which have been declined in a wide range of topics, in order to allow a so-called “global view” of our research efforts.

The official language of the Symposium will be English.
