The 12th EurOMA Sustainable Operations and Supply Chain Forum aims to promote a debate on the need to rethink the current predominant linear global supply and demand model. We intend to foster a discussion on new and improved ways to manage relationships and resources to face contemporary challenges. The urgency of transitioning to a regenerative supply chain model to ensure the long-term viability of human well-being development and overall ecosystems of the Planet is clear. By embracing this transformation, companies should not only reduce their negative impact, but also actively contribute to a prosperous, equitable and sustainable future. We invite submissions in all areas related to sustainable operations and supply chains that align with the theme of the Forum.

Submission Guidelines

In parallel sessions, abstracts and full papers submitted to the Forum will be presented (submission of full papers is not mandatory). We hope that the conference theme will encourage the submission of highly disruptive and inspiring articles and that the discussions will be extremely motivating and rich, with real contributions to theory and practice. Authors can expect constructive feedback for the development of their research.

To participate in the 12th EurOMA Sustainability Forum, please submit an abstract (appr. 500 words) by October 25th, 2024. A template is available here. Please ensure no author information appears in your submitted abstract, as all abstracts will undergo a double-blind review. (Note: At this point, we call for abstract submissions only. Submission of full papers is optional after the abstract has been accepted).
