Scientific Conference
A practice for scientific exchange.
The group's conference practice brings researchers and practitioners together around economics, management and development. It treats a meeting as a working space, not a ceremonial pause.
Perspective for Polish economic development
The recorded programme took place in Gdańsk on 20 and 21 October 2017. It brought economic development into focus as a question that researchers and practitioners have to answer together.
The title is a useful reminder of the practice's centre of gravity. Economic development is not a single variable. It involves institutions, firms, people, place and time, and a conference can make those connections visible in a way that a single paper cannot.
What a conference can hold
The practice is built around the exchange of research. A programme may include papers, discussion sessions and the kind of informal conversation that turns a room of strangers into a network. The exact shape depends on the question the conveners want to pursue.
- Economic development and regional questions
- Management, strategy and organisational change
- Research, development and innovation
- The use of evidence in public and private decisions
For conveners
Organisations and research groups that want to discuss a conference idea can write to the group office at biuro@groupivg.com. A short note about the theme, the intended audience and the proposed timing is enough to begin.
Public context
For readers who want to explore the setting of the recorded programme, the University of Gdańsk and the City of Gdańsk publish public information about the city and its academic life. The Polish Economic Society is a national body for economic research and discussion. These links are provided for reference and do not imply affiliation.
