Proceedings from the First Annual International FIRE Conference | 1:a upplagan

This anthology is a collection of scholarly articles drawn from contributions to the inaugural international and interdisciplinary conference of the Financial Information Retrieval Ecosystem (FIRE) research project. This conference took place from November 10th to 11th in 2022 at Örebro University, Sweden, and was generously financed by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.

The FIRE consortium is an international and interdisciplinary research collective unified by a core inquiry: how is society, particularly from a legal viewpoint, being fundamentally reshaped by the swift digitalisation of business-related information? This inquiry deeply resonates at both national and international echelons, given the extensive influence digitalisation holds over the social, economic, and legal dimensions of our global society.

Furthermore, the commitment of Örebro University extends beyond hosting the conference. They have generously funded the open access publication of this anthology.
