Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

We invite you to the 15th IRDO International Scientific and Business Conference entitled SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND CURRENT CHALLENGES 2020: PERSONAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE, to be held on 4 and 5 June 2020 in Maribor, Slovenia – in ONLINE PERFORMANCE. Due to the crisis and pandemic situation the conference will be held online (via Zoom). The physical presence of authors and participants in Maribor (Slovenia) is not needed. We invite you to participate as a participant.

The main purpose of the conference is to look for connections between human responsibility towards society and ourselves for our shared sustainable future. Such individual responsibility is a prerequisite for social responsibility, without broader environmental and social responsibility there is no survival of mankind or no tool to achieve a sustainable development / future. The emphasis this time is on the work of the individual, who can make a significant difference in society, and thus his active participation becomes the driving force for global renewal anywhere.

The EU has adopted a number of different strategies for the path out of the crisis, and the most recent one is the European Green Deal. More content on this topic can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/european-green-deal_en and https://ec.europa.eu/growth/industry/corporate-social-responsibility_en

Our participation in the conference will be in the spirit of the UN Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, incorporating 17 sustainable development goals. These are also enshrined in the Republic of Slovenia’s Development Strategy until 2030, but cannot be achieved without personal and social responsibility. The 2020 Conference aims to provide a broader insight into what researchers, teachers, managers, and others, can do to integrate personal and social responsibility into the social and natural environment in which we operate.

Therefore, with a view to contributing to a sustainable future as a pathway from the current crisis, we will:

  • Discuss methods for developing concepts of personal responsibility in order to align them with the current developments in it and the necessary holistic development in the social, ecological and business environment, with particular emphasis on reflexive behavior, interdependence and creative collaboration.
  • Present examples of personally responsible behavior by individuals and groups in business, government and non-governmental organizations or active citizenship, and evaluate how to rethink standard processes from several aspects and how.
  • Introduce aspects of personal responsibility and its empowerment, e.g. caring for a healthy lifestyle, nutrition, sports, sleep, spirituality, the economic aspect of family care, self-care, ethics, education, culture, social, love, partnership, parenting and other aspects of personal and social responsibility that support planning, implementation and optimization socially responsible behavior.By sharing experience, theoretical and practical, we will help participants find the right path to socially responsible behavior in families and in organizations, for-profit and non-profit.
