Call for Papers for the Annual Conference Organizations and Institutions in Times of War – Ukraine, Eastern Europe and Beyond
October 9-11, 2025
University of Regensburg, Germany
We invite scholars and practitioners to contribute their research and perspectives on how war affects organizations and institutions in the fields of economics, politics, law, history, culture, and beyond.
The conference aims to bring together a broad range of analyses that examine both the immediate impacts of military conflict on organizations and institutions and its long-term implications for theory and practice. We seek to develop a multidimensional understanding of institutions and organizations in times of war, drawing on empirical research, theoretical advancements, and detailed case studies. Thus, conceptual as well as quantitative and qualitative studies are welcome.
The conference language is English.
Think Space Ukraine will cover accommodation costs of presenters and support their travel costs (in case of co-authored papers of one speaker!)
