We’ll continue following our strategy regarding the publication of the conference proceedings where all the extended abstracts accepted for presentation at the conference will be published. The conference proceedings will be Open Access, which provides the best opportunities for the research to make the biggest impact on the academic community. You may find some examples of the proceedings of the previous conferences here: "Corporate Governance: Fundamental and Challenging Issues in Scholarly Research", "Corporate Governance: A Search for Emerging Trends in the Pandemic Times", "Corporate Governance: An Interdisciplinary Outlook in the Wake of Pandemic".

All the papers presented at the conference may be also published in one of the special issues of the Virtus Interpress journals. These papers will be subject to a separate double-blind reviewing process after the conference.

The conference organizing committee supposes that the upcoming conference may be help in an online format for a last time, and in autumn 2022 we’ll be able to return to the regular onsite format. The detailed information on the autumn conference will be announced later.
