Key facts & Registration

We welcome contributions that broaden our understanding of the processes advancing sustainable business, energy, and society.  The workshop will contribute to:

SGD 9: “Industry, innovation and infrastructure”

SDG 7: “Affordable and clean energy”

SDG 12: “Responsible consumption and production”

SDG17: “Partnerships for the Goals”, among others. 

We look forward to welcoming contributors from a wide range of disciplines, including business, technology and industrial management, economics, administrative sciences and communications. Contributors from other fields and domains are equally welcome. We seek to enable inclusive multidisciplinary discourse and sharing.  We also hope to welcome practitioner speakers for impulse talks outlining key challenges they face and indicating where input from the world of research would be welcome.

Our aim is to create a multidisciplinary platform for exchanging knowledge and insights on this important topic.  We also hope to welcome practitioner speakers to provide impulse talks that outline the key challenges they face, where input from the practitioners and scholars would be welcome.

This year’s meeting endeavors to bring together many contributors through a range of special sessions and workshops. Paper Development Sessions that benefit from the input of senior scholars and journal editors as discussants, will remain at the core of the conference. In addition, we aim to innovate by introducing Proposal Development Workshops and Special Sessions focused on specific themes. An additional day has been added to the meeting to enable participants to explore collaborative opportunities with colleagues at the University of Vaasa and partner institutions.
