the world.
Our goal is to create a friendly and approachable academy and environment, a strong network, whereby its members (including senior worldwide
scholars, faculty members, doctorate students, researchers and business practitioners) are guiding and mentoring each other. We differentiate as
we assist participants to network and publish their valuable work (see below: a. Publication Opportunities, b. Authors’ Networking and
Collaboration Workshop and c. Meet the Editors Session). Our participants also form specialised teams getting involved in EU project funding.
You can visit our Research Project Workshop (see below) that will take place during the conference.
In 2016, the annual EMAB Conference will, for the first time, be held in Eastern Europe (Warsaw, Poland). 200 years after the establishment of
the University of Warsaw it will be dedicated to “Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Digital Ecosystems”, due to the university’s particular focus

OTHER CONFERENCE AND PRE-CONFERENCE ACTIVITIES
Research Project Workshop
With this Research Project Workshop, The EuroMed Academy of Business (EMAB) expands on its successful past and present research
co-operations. It encourages concerted research activities amongst its members and the creation of a wider EMAB research pool.
The workshop is based on a selection of concrete research calls for which a consortium of members might apply as a result of the workshop.
Resulting from work and discussions done in previous Research Workshops, a strategic new partnership (MoU) and various research projects are
currently being developed, i.e. on Gender Dynamics in Boards, Quality Management or Branding. Further, at the workshop, participants’
suggestions for funded research proposals will be discussed and evaluated. The workshop represents a real additional value for members and
conference participants and constitutes a part of the EMAB Conference. It will provide you with and discusses the following topics:
- General Key Success Criteria for Proposals
- Information on Current Projects and Changes of Funding Priorities
- Screening and Timely Selecting Projects based on EMAB and/or Members’ Priorities
- Creation of an EMAB research consortium (i.e. utilizing Diversity and Past-Experience of Members; Nexus between Academia and
Industry)
- Process and Timeline for Project Proposal Design (including Team Formation, Task Allocation and Milestones)
- Budgeting of Proposals
The workshop will take place on the 14th of September. The exact Time and Location of the workshop will be announced in due course at the
conference website. Please, register for the workshop, sending an email to Prof Hans Ruediger Kaufmann [email protected]
Authors’ Networking and Collaboration Workshop
The workshop aims at exploring ways that will lead to the formation of a strong network of EMAB members collaborating in:
-
Commonly writing journal papers and conference presentations
Producing appropriate findings by undertaking collaborative research projects
-
Promoting EMAB as primary or secondary authors’ affiliation
Rationale: We all have “millions” of ideas for research projects and/or papers that for months or years remain hidden in desk drawers and
computer files, usually due to time limitations. A network of researchers and authors can provide the means for commonly materializing ideas
that would otherwise remain unexploited. Indicating EMAB as primary and/or secondary affiliation of authors will lead to the creation of a
strong literature “brand name”.
The workshop will take place on the 14th of September. The exact Time and Location of the workshop will be announced in due course at the
conference website. Please, register for the workshop, sending an email to Dr Evangelos Tsoukatos [email protected]
Meet the Editors Session
In order to enhance our conference participants’ network, every year we hold a Meet the Editorssession. At this session, taking place during the
conference, all Journal Editors, Associate Editors or Guest Editors who participate at the Conference present their journals to the Conference
Participants. This also gives the opportunity to participants to network and meet with the editors and benefit from any publishing opportunities.
Editors or Associate Editors who will participate at

Green and Clean: Sound trends for Market, Business and Society
Chair and Coordinator: Prof.dr.Carmen Costea USH Bucharest
Discussants: Janina Gabroveanu Vladoi and Gheorghe Bica
Green as a new living and working style is not new at all. The difference approach we consider here consists in how the business movement
decide including the stodgy management decisions both for companies and institutions for people and society benefit.
The green movement has already accelerated into overdrive. The question is if corporate push and government stimulus the bio orientation in
market and business will move forward society and human’s life along with the commerce and institutions’ changes.
The new trends will pose a challenge for business and society as a whole. What we see now is an entire restructuring of the world as we know it.
As it is not only the business that will need the agility and adaptability to ride these trends into the future, more to come is expected from people
and proactive institutions.
