Study days organized by MaBaCoS PhD students

The MaBaCoS Study Days are an interdisciplinary training project that is part of the curriculum of the Doctorate in Management, Banking, and Commodity Sciences.
The initiative is conceived, proposed, and organized by doctoral students from the three curricula, under the supervision of the Coordinator and with the support of the Doctorate's operating funds.
The Study Days provide a space for scientific discussion and dialogue between different disciplines, aimed at strengthening the doctoral students' critical analysis and research skills.
The theme of each cycle is the result of a process of collective discussion among doctoral students from all curricula, aimed at identifying cutting-edge topics in socioeconomic research and for which there is a shared interest in engaging with scholars of recognized national and international standing

The proposed topic for the 2025-2026 academic year is "Digital Capitalism and (Im)balances of Power."
