IDEAS is currently accelerating our presence in the international academic community. Our collaboration with Springer has resulted in the “SN Social Science” and “SN Business and Economics” journals, both permanent series that include our research. Our upcoming journal, “AI & Innovation,” for example, will serve as a critical platform for disseminating groundbreaking research and fostering global intellectual exchange. Mirko will serve as editor in chief of the journal.
In the following, more IDEAS Experts will participate in more international academic exchanges on behalf of IDEAS, which will promote communication and cooperation in the digital economy among BRICS countries.
