Personal Message from the Conference Chairs

The year 2020 was a turning point in many grounds. Since the 11^th March –when the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, the ways we live and work were drastically challenged. Our institutions, both public and private, and our societies were forced to change and adapt to create and deliver value in a completely new environment, where remote working, social distance and lockdowns became the new norm.

As universities, government organisations and private firms sought to support societies and economies, the role of Knowledge Management in business and society gained relevance. The KM research, learning and practice communities met in December 2020, in the first online edition in the history of the European Conference on Knowledge Management. As they left the conference, participants were invited to continue to make of KM a key driver of socio-economic recovery.

Join us at the Research Centre for Business in Society, Coventry University in September 2021 for the 22^nd edition of the European Conference on Knowledge Management. We will discuss how data, information and knowledge management are leading the new ways of collaboration, knowledge exchange and innovation in the challenging conditions of today.

Prof Alexeis Garcia-Perez, Conference Chair.
