Dear participants of the 39th International Scientific Conference on the Development of Organizational Sciences,

This year faces us with new experiences and challenges that impose unconventional procedures and activities. Our 39th traditional Conference, held in Portorož each spring, has already been postponed to September and relocated to Kranjska Gora.

Considering the current situation in Slovenia and internationally, our participants’ wellbeing is our responsibility and priority. 

As the situation in society is still uncertain and not very optimistic about the possibility of holding a conference, we decided to hold the 39th Conference on the Development of Organizational Sciences in 2020 in a way that offers a stable and secure execution of a joint event.

The Conference entitled “Organizations at the Crossroads of Innovation and Digital Transformation” will be held on the 23rd and 24th of September 2020.

All the essential activities planned will be carried out online. After the official opening, various thematic sections will enable the participants to present their papers. Round tables and other events will be scheduled to complete our content-rich program. We hope you will be able to join us in the e-environment. The proceedings with the papers that have successfully passed the review procedure and were presented at the Conference will be published after the Conference. Given that the Conference will be held in a two-day program and online, we decided to reduce the registration fee for all participants to € 50 without VAT. You will receive all information regarding the payment after the confirmation of participation from the Center for Education and Counseling.

The event details and the program will be sent out at the beginning of September 2020. Consider this as an informative message so you can book your time. We believe that together we can be successful, efficient, and able to overcome the obstacles posed by current circumstances.

We kindly invite you to confirm your participation at the online Conference to the e-mail address cis.fov@um.si by 30 June 2020, so we will be able to inform you about the program and other conference details. Book the appointment in your calendar on 23rd and 24th September 2020. Do not hesitate to contact us in case of any additional questions.

As a Chair of the Program Committee, I look forward to meeting you at the Conference at the end of September 2020. I wish you a pleasant and peaceful summer.

Assoc. prof. dr. Polona Šprajc
