The DFG supported research project Crowdsourcing as a New Form of Organizing Labor Relations organizes the first Crowdinvesting Symposium, which will take place on July 4-5, 2019 at the University of Bremen / Germany. Researchers in the fields of economics, business administration, information systems, innovation and law are encouraged to submit a paper.
