TAKE 2021 Theory and Applications in the Knowledge Economy will take pace from July, 7th to 9th, in Porto, Portugal This year the Conference will have the main topic: TAKE 2021 – The Knowledge Economy in the Covid-19 Era.

Also, due to current and still unpredictable restrictions of movement the Conference might be face-to-face, hybrid, or online – all the three scenarios are being prepared. Crucially, the registration, already in use, allows the two options, presence or online. Finally, the online fee, in early bird or normal system, is 100 euros less than the presence fee.

In terms of deadlines, there is already a considerable amount of contributions, enough to guarantee the conference, but this is Covid-19 environment and therefore the organizers decided to try a "second wave”. Our member, prof. Eduardo Tome encourages to submit the abstract before February 28th 2021.

Our member, prof. Giovani Schiumma and his colleagues are delighted to announce the CALL FOR TRACK PROPOSALS

Deadline for track proposal submission: 30 November 2020.

The purpose of IFKAD 2021 is to understand the role of managing knowledge to support organisations to navigate uncertain times. The scale and variety of disruptions affecting businesses are unprecedented and astounding. Disruptions and overlapping crises threaten the working mechanisms of socio-cultural and economic-production ecosystems, and organisational systems are challenged to understand how they can be sustainable, keep moving forward and growing. The current coronavirus pandemic has brought to the fore a new level of uncertainty and poses difficult and even unprecedented challenges for the sustain­ability of organisations and communities.
The understanding of the strategies, projects and tools to manage the knowledge to navigate uncertain times is essential for survival and sustainability of any private, public and social organisation. The capacity of creating, employing and deploying knowledge is critical to protect the business and to guarantee that organisations can continuously contribute to the value creation dynamics of stakeholders’ wealth creation.
