We are pleased to announce the 7^th International Digital Business Research Day hosted at the Department of Informatics Engineering @ University of Coimbra, Portugal.

The conference is one of the key event and get-together within the Digital Business Cooperative Network between the Innovation Value Institute at Maynooth University, Ireland, the Digital Business Institute at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, Campus Steyr and the Department of Informatics Engineering at the University of Coimbra, Portugal.

We invite postgraduate research students at any stage of their research to submit extended abstracts and present at the conference. The conference provides a platform for researchers and research students to exchange ideas, and present and discuss ongoing research.

The contributions can focus on the research topic but also include other challenges and experiences related to postgraduate research. Examples include: how to publish research results in high-quality outlets, how to position research and research contributions, how to apply research methods, and how to structure and systematically plan a good Ph.D. thesis. The participants include experienced researchers and professors, providing an opportunity for discussion of research projects in an academically stimulating atmosphere. Moreover, the Digital Business Research Day provides multiple networking opportunities, embedded into a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
