In collaboration with ISM University of Management and Economics, LEIZ is pleased to announce the fourth Conference on Relational Economics and Organizational Governance. The conference will take place from 10 to 11 September 2026 in Vilnius, Lithuania, at ISM University.


Under the theme “Relational Pathways to a Global Economy,” the conference addresses disruptive developments in business, politics, and society and examines them from a relational perspective. Particular attention will be given to the emergence of new global value creation networks, processes of digitalization, evolving structures of global governance, and the rise of the new authoritarianism.


For a limited number of participants who want to present their contribution at the conference, travel and accommodation costs will be reimbursed. Contributions are invited from the social sciences and humanities, including economic theory, management and organization studies, political science and international relations, psychology, and sociology.


Abstracts of up to 500 words should be submitted by 1 May 2026 to jonas.stark@zu.de. For inquiries, please contact the organizers Jonas Stark (jonas.stark@zu.de) and Dr. Tobias Grünfelder (Tobias.Gruenfelder@ism.lt).
