The STRATEGICA 2026 conference brings together a diverse community of scholars exploring how economic, social, and organizational systems evolve in response to institutional shifts, technological advancements, and emerging societal needs. To facilitate high-quality academic dialogue, the conference is structured around several thematic tracks that reflect its core pillars and interdisciplinary orientation.
Our thematic focus spans institutional and economic change, new social and economic models, and the interplay between technology, markets, and organizational performance. Submissions may draw on a variety of lenses—including management, economics, public policy, sociology, technology studies, and related fields. Contributions addressing human dynamics (leadership, work practices, well-being, ethics, and stakeholder engagement) are welcome across all tracks.
