“Science, Technology and Innovation in the Emerging Market Economies”
Announcement and Call for Papers
Conference Focus
Developed countries of the 20th century remain strong, and are being joined by newcomers. This created opportunities for researchers, scholars, and businesses to tackle new problems in a variety of technology fields.
The IAMOT 2013 conference about Science, Technology and Innovation in the emerging market economies will address these problems and provide solutions and experiences. The conference will shed light on the role of these markets in the global knowledge economy for present and future challenges.
Brazil is the largest country in Latin America. It spreads across almost half (47.3%) of South America. With its unique development experience, Brazil is the perfect place to host the first International Conference on Management of Technology in Latin America.
The conference will take place in Brazil’s southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul, which is a strategic area for MERCOSUL (Mercado Común del Sur – Common Southern Market) due to its proximity to and intense trade with Argentina and Uruguay in addition to Chile and Paraguay.
