COMING SOON
TIEF & European Journal of Islamic finance Virtual Workshop
October 15th, 2021
"We will be virtual, we will be more, and we will exchange even more knowledge than before."
Background
The Turin Islamic Economic Forum (at its fifth edition) will consist of three days of virtual meetings - from 13 to 15 October 2021 - to learn about and explore new trends related to the topics mentioned above, to generate opportunities for exchange, and to learn 'best practices from around the world.
The last day, in particular, is dedicated to the scientific study of the topics under discussion and will see the participation of academics from all regions of the world through a call for papers organized directly by the Department of Management of the University of Turin using the European Journal of Islamic Finance (scientific and worldwide spread academic Journal).
This website aims to present the call for paper, the themes and all the information related to the third day.
Themes
Islamic finance, as an alternative and ethical financing method, directs funding to impact-oriented real economic activities; it thus utilizes economic and financial resources to satisfy the material and social needs of all members of the community. The main foundations of Islamic financial products are its asset based transaction nature, together with its equity-based nature of sharing risk and profits. Each of these financing categories has a fundamental role to play in increasing the financial inclusion and innovative start-ups, as well attracting potential capital from Islamic capital providers and sources.
The emerging of distributed ledger technology, smart contract, new digital currencies and new payment platforms has motivated the innovation in financial services. Their adoption by the Islamic finance industry is the most natural way to achieve a strong position in this digitalization era. The development of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain technology will redesign Islamic financial services and products.
