Research progress are regularly presented in international and national academic conferences and published in their proceedings (Advances in Consumer Research, European Marketing Academy, Association Française de Marketing and Academy of Marketing Science).
In terms of students training, the IPM Digital Marketing Chair offers a Digital marketing master specialization to students in Management sciences and Business engineering. The IPM Digital Marketing chair provides students a both theoretical and professional framework by offering a 8-months immersion into the professional life during their master degree.
