The 6th International Workshop on the Sharing Economy (6th IWSE) in Utrecht aims to bring together academics and other stakeholders to discuss the latest insights on the sharing economy.

For about a decade, the burgeoning “sharing economy” has been capturing the attention of policy makers, scholars and the media alike. Initially viewed as a disruptive innovation  promising to deliver a more sustainable, more efficient, and more socially connected society, sharing platforms such as Airbnb, BlaBlaCar and Uber have meanwhile grown from startups into successful multinational companies that attract controversy as much as excitement.

At the same time, a multidisciplinary and lively research field on the sharing economy and collaborative economy has emerged, including economists, sociologists, management- and business scholars, innovation scholars, historians, geographers, and many others. The 6th International Workshop on the Sharing Economy (IWSE) in Utrecht aims to bring together academics and other stakeholders to discuss the latest insights on the sharing economy.

Our event follows on successful editions in Utrecht (2015), Paris (2016), Southampton (2016), Lund (2017) and Mannheim (2018).
