Welcome Note

Systemic Digital Transformation in Contemporary Business Ecosystems

We would like to invite you to the 19th Hellenic Society for Systemic Studies (HSSS) National & International Conference, joined organized with the Department of Tourism Studies, University of Piraeus. Supporter of the Conference is the Administrative Chamber of Greece.

The Conference is online, from 11th to 14th October 2023, Piraeus, Greece.

The HSSS’s annual National and International Conference is held alternately in different cities of Greece in collaboration and/or under the auspices of one or more local Universities or with a contribution of a relevant International or Greek organization.

This Conference is a great opportunity for system specialists from Europe and the rest of the world to meet and emulate each other in order to decompartmentalise the specialist approaches of the different disciplines. Combining theoretical, methodological and practical approaches, systems thinking contributes to the construction of synergies between different disciplines, thus encouraging the development of theoretical models, modelling and decision-making methods, and practical tools at the service of society.

Based on the topic of creativity, the main theme of the double event is to present the dynamic scientific area of “Systemics” with theory and applications in organizations and enterprises across a wide spectrum of both service and production industry sectors.

Given the dynamic nature of this challenging area, Systemics will bridge the gap between theory and practice and will promote the use of effective Methodologies and Multi-Methodologies in managing today’s organizational complexity for Organizational Intelligence.

Our interdisciplinary, international community has the scientific systemic tools and powerful specialized software to tackle up-to-date multi-dimensional strategic complex problems and to manage their complexity in different applied areas of practice.

The prominent national and international invited speakers in the scientific program, the exciting professional panels, the professional round table, and the professional workshop will attract the attention of a large number of our colleagues. Further, the members’ participation, including the Association Française de Science des Systèmes (AFSCET), The Cybernetics Society (CYBSOC), the Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sui Sistemi (AIRS), the Hellenic Society for Systemic Studies (HSSS), the Asbl Systèmes & Organisations (S&O), the Sociedad Española de Sistemas Generales (SESGE) International Federation for Systems Research (IFSR), the International Academy of Systems and Cybernetic Sciences (IASCYS), the World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics (WOSC) together with renowned consultancy firms of national and international stature, will allow the organization of a very successful and memorable event in the history of HSSS Conferences and EUS Congress.
