About

The Nagymaros Conference is an international conference on economic sociology (with a special focus on organizational sociology) – a core line of research within the organization and management field. It brings together a selected group of scholars from leading US, European and Asian institutions to discuss questions at the frontier of the field. Since its inception over two decades ago, it has been hosted every year by a different institution.

In 2020, given the current global pandemic, the event will be virtual and will therefore take place online from June 22^nd to 23^rd. ESMT Berlin will organize the event.
