We would like to inform you about the Annual Conference 2025 of "Denkraum Ukraine", which will be taking place October 9-11, 2025 at the University of Regensburg!

The conference "Organizations and Institutions in Times of War – Ukraine, Eastern Europe, and Beyond" 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.

Denkraum Ukraine (Think Space Ukraine), which is one of two DAAD-funded centers for interdisciplinary Ukraine studies in Germany, invites 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.

Potential research areas include (but are not limited to):

• Management: International management, supply chain management, crisis management
• Organizational resilience and change
• Leadership under stress
• Institutional transfers and transformations
• Reorientation and management of cultural, epistemic, and linguistic hierarchies
• Spatial reorientation of cultural formats
• Translation of meanings, symbols, and institutions
• The role of identity and memory in organizational behavior

To join the conference, please submit your application by June 30, 2025. Alternatively, submission of a panel proposal is possible.
