In the course of 2024, RIAL will present its institutional website, Learning Management System platform and Scientific Journal as part of its growth process, in addition to the already established conferences and symposiums, of which the following stand out for 2024: the VI Symposium of Economics and Management of Lusophony to be held at the Iguaçu Campus of the Federal Institute of Paraná (Brazil) and its V Intercontinental Conference on Digital Transformation to be held in October/November 2024 at the Auditorium of the School of Management and Technology of the Santarém Polytechnic University.
