Conference Goals
The EuroMed Academy of Business annual conference is established as one of the
major Business Management conferences of its kind in the EuroMed region
(European and Mediterranean), in terms of size, quality of content, and standing
reputation of attendees. Many of the papers presented contribute significantly to
the business knowledge base. Its Book of Proceedings is highly recognized and
accepted to be under citation. Many papers are published in Special Issues in leading
journals, and are driving international research and teaching programs.
The conference attracts hundreds of prominent scholars from leading universities, as
well as principal executives and politicians from all over 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 on innovation and
entrepreneurship. The conference will bring together around 400 scientists, scholars,
young researchers and entrepreneurs from all over the world and is anticipated to be
the prevalent event of the year on innovation, entrepreneurship and digital
ecosystems.

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
Kaufmann [email protected]
an
email
to
Prof
Hans
Ruediger
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 the Conference should
communicate with D. Yioula Melanthiou [email protected] and confirm their
participation.

4. Doctoral Webinar
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.

Warsaw is a cosmopolitan and urban city with lots of character, fascinating old
neighbourhoods as well as new attractions and architecture. Atmospheric alleys,
squares, and cosy cafés create a unique sense of history. Historic centre (Old Town,
Stare Miasto) and oldest part of the city, it is also a living, breathing cultural salon.
Founded in the 13th century as the prince's castle, it is surrounded by walls. During
World War II, 90% of it was destroyed, but thanks to its excellent restoration and
recovery, in 1980 it was granted the status of a UNESCO World Heritage List.
Currently, it is a lively place, bustling with tourists and locals, and full of galleries,
cafés and restaurants.
Łazienki Królewskie is a Palace-Garden complex the most beautiful planned area in
Warsaw and one of the most beautiful in Europe, equally stunning in terms of its
greenery and architecture. Another royal residence is Wilanow Palace, One of the
most precious monuments of Polish Baroque built for King Jan III Sobieski.
Fryderyk Chopin is undoubtedly the best known resident of Warsaw. He spent the
first 20 years of his life in the city. Here he studied music, learned the manners of
society and gave his first concerts. There are many places which are a homage paid to
his talent and Warsaw boasts the world’s largest Chopin memorabilia collection.
Among the beautiful and interesting museums, Copernicus Science Centre is the most
known. This is a kingdom of experiments and a heaven for those interested in the
world. Here everyone can delve into nature’s mysteries and conduct experiments on
their own.
