GREETINGS TO ATTENDEES

WSB University and Partners announce another edition of the International Conference “Territorial and Inter-Organizational Cooperation' 2024”.

Four previous editions were held at the Hotel Kotarz in Brenna.
Still, this year, the anniversary edition of the conference will be held at WSB University in Dąbrowa Górnicza, Poland, from 09.10 to 11.10.2024.

The event is organized within the project " Territorial and Inter-Organizational Cooperation - regional, cross-border and global perspective" (ONF/SN/0040/2023/01).

The project is co-financed by the state budget under the Program of the Minister of Education and Science (Poland); the co-financing amount is PLN 70,950, and the total project value is PLN 85,305.

The leader of the Project is the Research Institute on Territorial and Inter-Organizational Cooperation, WSB University, Poland.

The Project Partners are the following organisations:

• The Association for Regional Development and Cooperation "Olza", Cieszyn, Poland
• Central European Service for Cross-Border Initiatives, Budapest, Hungary
• Euro-Instutite, Kehl, Germany
• Institute of Regional Research, National Academy of Science of Ukraine
• European Centre for Minority Issues, Flensburg, Germany
• Regional Association of Territorial Cooperation of Těšín Silesia, Czech Cieszyn, Czechia
• Scientific Society for Organization and Management, Branch in Dąbrowa Górnicza, Poland
• Technical University of Liberec, Czechia
• University of Greater Region, Luxembourg
• University of Extremadura, Spain
   

The Conference is addressed to researchers and practitioners who study different aspects of territorial and inter-organizational cooperation in local, regional, cross-border, and international dimensions.

The Conference is characterized by its interdisciplinary approach resulting from raising multi-perspective scientific problems and innovative formulas. The Conference’s main aim is networking and forming international, interdisciplinary scientific teams working together on new scientific challenges.

The 3-day Conference agenda includes:

• the plenary session
• four thematic sessions
• two debates of experts
• session for PhD students and students

An additional attraction will be a one-day field trip to the Polish-Czech-Slovak borderland, addressed to all event guests who will participate on-site (11.10.2024).

Considering the limited number of places for stationary participants, we would like to inform you that recruitment is carried out on a first-come, first-served basis until the limit of places is filled. We encourage you to register for this event as soon as possible.

I intend for the Conference to become an international platform of scientific cooperation represented by different academic centres and practitioners, who should take full advantage of the research results.

Thanks to the above-mentioned program of the Minister of Education and Science (Poland), which financially supports the conference, attendance is free of charge. Participants cover the costs of travel and accommodation.

Establishing continuous scientific cooperation with the Research Institute on Territorial and Inter-Organizational Cooperation, which I run, would benefit each Conference participant through joint projects and scientific publications.
