The 34th CEEMAN Annual Conference

The 34th CEEMAN Annual Conference took place in Bucharest on 23–25 September 2026. It is one of the key annual events organised by CEEMAN, an international network bringing together business schools, universities, and institutions committed to the development of management education.

During the conference, Urszula Kobylińska, PhD presented the objectives and activities of the international CircleREdu project during the Poster Session for Faculty and Researchers. The project focuses on developing competencies related to the circular economy, sustainable development, and innovative approaches to education. The presentation was delivered within the Education track.

This year’s conference was held under the theme “Business Schools as Ecosystem Orchestrators: Engaging Business, Government, and Society.” The event brought together approximately 150 representatives of universities, business schools, companies, public administration, and other organisations from countries around the world. The programme included keynote speeches, panel discussions, interactive sessions and roundtables, company visits, a poster session, sessions dedicated to CEEMAN IQA accreditation, as well as the CEEMAN Annual Meeting.

Participation in the CEEMAN Annual Conference – CEEMAN’s flagship event – provides an important opportunity to present research and project outcomes to the international academic community and to establish cooperation with representatives of renowned business schools and universities.

Presenting the CircleREdu project at the conference was therefore both an important recognition and an opportunity to promote the project internationally, as well as to exchange experiences and ideas concerning emerging trends in management education and cooperation between universities and their socio-economic environment.
