The conference will be located in the city of Kaunas, Lithuania. Kaunas, being the second largest city of Lithuania and the fourth largest in the Baltic states, is also called a city of academia and national thought. It is also an old city of Hanseatic League across the Baltics that shares a long tradition of international trade and partnership. The center of the city is located in the confluence of the rivers Neris and Nemunas and today is fully occupied by universities and students, and reserved for pedestrians only. For their convenience, also free Wi-Fi covered. Did you know, that Lithuania is ranked number 1 across Europe for the FTTH (Fiber to the home) penetration rate in Europe (according to FTTH Council Europe) and is among countries having the fastest Internet connection in the world (Speedtest.net) together with Estonia?
We believe, it is the right place and moment to discuss the development of knowledge management here, in the Baltics.
We are especially happy to host ECKM in Lithuania in 2013, the year of Lithuanian EU presidency!
EU presidency is an important occasion to bring European and world KM community together to discuss knowledge management development research and practice perspectives and their impacts on the society and economy here in Lithuania, the modern European State, and push forward our ideas. Innovation, intellectual capital, productive and socially meaningful knowledge activities are at the core of the development of society, businesses, and organizations. Knowledge management emerges at the edge while discussing a variety of societal and development challenges, including economy, sustainability, security, welfare, health, citizenship and democracy. The ability to accumulate, integrate and transfer knowledge into the business and social innovations becomes a challenge, which is broadly addressed by the community of KM. Academic discourse on the knowledge management theory development, as well as the practical implications on building knowledge based dynamic capabilities of firms and organizations, embedding knowledge management practices in the organizational design, accumulating collective knowledge for innovation, linking networks and communities for knowledge synergies – only few of the wide range of issues to be discussed together.
This conference aims to further that dialogue by attracting leading edge work that leverages the ECKM community's in-depth understanding of knowledge management and its impacts on innovation and societal development. Our aim is to stimulate breakthrough research streams linking innovation, dynamic growth and knowledge management.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Kaunas!
