Aims & Scope of the conference
The conference focuses on economic and managerial topics since 2002. For its 24th year, we would like to invite not only guests from academia but also representatives of companies and the public sector. The aim is to bring together the commercial and academic spheres. The conference has the ambition to become a platform for networking, to present the potential of collaboration with the research community on innovations, pathways of commercialization, and consultations of own topics for solutions in the field of business processes.
In general, the conference promotes an exchange of ideas and contacts of academicians from different fields of interest. Besides, it offers opportunities to meet and talk with experts from practice. The primary goal of the conference is to present both theoretical and empirical papers in the field of economics, business economics, management, and economics-related modeling. Please see the track topics for further details. Moreover, there will be a special matchmaking workshop focused on the technology transfer topic. More details will be available in October.
