About the workshop
The ESPM 2025 international scientific workshop, held to mark ten years since the ESPM series was founded (2015) and as part of Science and Technology Week in Slovakia 2025, is devoted to sustainable development and green transitions in economics, management and industrial engineering.
As in previous years the event is organised by the non-profit organisation Pro Enviro, n. o., together with the University of Prešov and the Department of Industrial and Digital Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Košice. It continues the scientific dialogue and the collaboration established by the ESPM series of international scientific workshops, which since 2015 have produced findings and recommendations for academia and practice.
