Following on from the five previous highly successful Workshops on Talent Management that were held in Brussels in 2012 and 2013, Berlin in 2014, Valencia in 2015, and Copenhagen in 2016, this workshop is intended to continue providing a forum for academic debate on the rapidly growing field of talent management.

Talent Management has established itself as one of the key priorities for C-suite executives and HR professionals alike. However, HR professionals continue to struggle to deliver on the talent agenda. This workshop is designed to bring together leading and emerging scholars working from a range of disciplines in the area of talent management with the intention of developing theoretical and empirical work which can contribute to this rapidly emerging area of study.

To continue growing a forum for academic exchange of conceptual and empirical (qualitative or quantitative) research in the area of talent management. The workshop has a strong developmental focus and as such encourages research which may be in progress as well as completed research.

• The conceptual and intellectual boundaries of talent management
• Theoretical models of talent management
• Macro-perspectives on talent management

The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), which comprises several schools with an enduring history going back more than a century, is a public university devoted to the knowledge and practice of engineering, architecture, sciences and technology built on humanistic and social foundations.

A key aspect of the UPC is its impact on its area of influence through education, research and the transfer of research results to companies. The education it offers is of a high quality and covers bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, as well as continuing education courses designed to foster lifelong learning and retraining.

The UPC is a leading university in transferring the knowledge it generates to companies in order to promote innovation, business start-ups and patenting. As a technical university, it plays a crucial role in the production system and contributes decisively to regional balance with campuses in Barcelona, Castelldefels, Manresa, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Terrassa and Vilanova i la Geltrú.

Beyond our country, the UPC has academic and research alliances with other universities and with companies, corporations and institutions through networks and projects, some of which are international in scope. Our degrees are designed to respond to the needs of the labour market and to train people in leadership paradigms that aspire to making our environment more sustainable and more humane. We wish to build a university that serves society, a collective project that aims for a brighter future.
