The second LouRIM Research Day was held on January 26. This event was an opportunity to honour the research within our institute, and more particularly to highlight the winners of the first edition of the LouRIM Seed Fund, Marco Daprà and Corentin Vande Kerckhove.
The LouRIM Seed Fund aims to encourage interdisciplinary research initiatives that are in their infancy, by enabling them to obtain a grant to finance certain aspects of their research. Marco and Corentin's project, entitled "Cooperation and Competition in the Interinstitutional space: Anticipating Employee Attrition using LinkedIn Data" was rewarded this way.
The aim of this project is to answer the research question "which institutional logics cooperate and which ones compete?” To do this, they will use data from LinkedIn profiles. They hope to contribute to the literature on institutional logics, but also to data sciences and methodologies using deep learning. More concretely, they also hope to advise companies on how to recruit/modify recruiting processes or company's culture and practices.
Alongside this, members of the institute were able to listen to presentations by Sabrina Courtois, Julie Hermans, Arthur Lefebvre, Ingrid Poncin and Arthur Sluÿters, all of whom shared their inspiring research with us.
The day was a great success!
