IVI Summit 2026: International Research Symposium on Digital Transformation, AI and Data Maynooth University Maynooth, Ireland, June 10, 2026

Selected Full Papers to be published in Conference Proceedings

As part of the IVI Summit 2026, a major conference on Digital Transformation, AI and Data, the Innovation Value Institute invites contributions that address challenges around digital Transformation, AI and Data. We seek contributions from emerging researchers (Postgraduate and PhD students), established academics, and industry practitioners that advance innovation on Digital and Data through both theoretically grounded and practice-oriented insights. We particularly encourage contributions that are co-authored in collaboration between academia and non-academic sector in an international context. Equally important, we welcome submissions that introduce innovative and novel topics on Digital Transformation, AI and Data, offering fresh perspectives and creative approaches to address emerging challenges. The Symposium will bring together a dynamic community of scholars and professionals to exchange ideas across diverse research areas, fostering dialogue that bridges disciplines, methods, and perspectives.

Our goal is to showcase original ideas and novel contributions that tackle the opportunities and complexities of data-driven value creation in digital and AI-powered contexts. We encourage submissions that combine methodological rigour with creativity, delivering both theoretical depth and practical relevance.
