SUSTAINABILITY, SOCIAL ECONOMY, AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
2023 Conference of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration
at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”
December 13-15, 2023
The Club of Sofia was inaugurated in 1998 when the first FEBA international conference was held. It aimed at promoting the concepts of sustainable development. Throughout the last 25 years FEBA inspired economists, managers, and entrepreneurs to become purposeful leaders of business and communities in Bulgaria and abroad. FEBA established itself as a center of excellence in domains as ESG and sustainability studies, macroeconomic modeling, digitalization and innovation, artificial intelligence, fintech and lately – gamification.
The FEBA annual conference provides a framework for complex dialogues such as triple Helix dialogue (industry-academia-policy makers) and citizens – scholars dialogues. It is a place to share values, knowledge and skills and plan new research experiments and have impactful discussions, a venue where work-in-progress is enriched and fine-tuned, rather than solely presented as a ready-made artefact.
We blend three themes in this year’s conference – sustainability, social economy, and digital transformation. We look for contributions from academia, industry – established and start-up world, policy makers and citizens (civil society activists). We aim at producing new insights how we could transform the old business and organization models with the help of technological change for accelerated but still sustainable economic recovery.
25 years after its establishment we re-star the Club of Sofia as a major playmaker in the climate change domain and as a platform to bring Bulgarian multidisciplinary researchers from around the world to contribute to ESG policy, industry and academic impact.
The topics of the conference may cover (but are not constrained to):
- Macroeconomic modeling for sustainability
- ESG
- Bulgaria’s entry to the euro area: Implications and consequences
- Effects of crises (Brexit, COVID-19, War in Ukraine, etc.) on firms
- AI and Digital transformation in business and governments
- Financial contagion and systemic risk
- Social economy, cooperatives, and volunteers
- Innovation and Industry 4.0
- Gamification in business
- Shadow economy and taxation
- Digital marketing and SEO
- Behavioral economics, behavioral studies and corporate culture
- Experimental economics
- Others
