Nowadays, sustainability is a key question of our life, all over the world. Sustainability is related to the natural environment, economy and society. In the recent years, sustainable economy, sustainable society and sustainable development became one of the key management objectives and the subject of multidisciplinary scientific researches.

The whole conference will be organized as a zero waste event. Due to the persistent situation with the COVID pandemic, the entire conference will take place in an online environment.

The aim of the conference is to provide opportunity for scientists and professionals from various areas of knowledge and disciplines to meet each other, to share their experiences, research results and theoretical studies and to build and strengthen international cooperation for improving the quality of scientific research.
