Welcome to the
home of Fair Trade International Symposium
(FTIS). The FTIS is a regular series of large scale conference
events that gather interested parties from all across the world to showcase the
latest and best quality research undertaken in the area of "fair
trade".
The first Fair Trade
International Symposium was held in Montreal
in 2002. After another event there in 2006, the Symposium moved to Europe and Montpellier
in 2008. The 4th event was recently held at Liverpool
Hope University from 2nd-4th April.
The aim of the
symposiums series is to bring together the world's leading and newly emerging academic
researchers, with practitioners, policy makers and the general public, for the
development and consolidation of collective knowledge on the subject of "fair
trade".
Each Symposium event is organised by a separate team of academics and if you are interested in hosting or being involved in the next event, please contact the 2012 team.
