The Conference Series on Business Informatics is a premiere conference on Business Informatics. Enterprises and their supporting IT systems are a critical element of our rapidly developing digital society. This makes business informatics is a fertile ground for research with the potential for immense and tangible impact. There is an ongoing need to push towards new frontiers of business modelling, automation, monitoring and analytics technologies, in order to more effectively improve and innovate enterprise. Advances in the field of IT also enable innovation in enterprises: socially synergistic business processes, cloud-based enterprise applications, real-world-aware business solutions, and business intelligence driven by big data, just to name a few.

Joint CBI & EDOC policy on academic and democratic values

CBI and the War in Ukraine

Like any international conference, the CBI series of conference is a place for collaboration between researchers from all over the world. As such, we were particularly keen to include colleagues from Eastern Europe and Russia, with whom we have cultivated a pleasant and rewarding relationship in the years before the start of the war. This has been demonstrated not least by the fact that in 2019, CBI was held in Moscow.

In the light of the ongoing Russian war on Ukraine, we feel compelled to make a clear statement regarding these shocking events. The CBI condemns the Russian government's criminal war of aggression in the strongest possible terms. We regard it not only a crime against the people of Ukraine, but a barbaric attack on the basic values of democracy and even civilisation.

Furthermore, Universities are special places in society. They have a responsibility to protect and promote academic values, which typically go hand in hand with democratic values, such as freedom of speech, majority based decisions, while respecting the needs of minorities, etc. Unfortunately, Russian universities have undertaken explicit actions that violate these academic values. More specifically, by explicitly supporting the Russian government in waging war on a neighbouring democratic country.

We certainly would like to continue the academic interactions with our Russian colleagues at the CBI conferences, and certainly hope that the relationships that have developed on a personal level will continue. At the same time, in line with the joint policy of the CBI and EDOC conferences regarding academic and democratic values, as of now, references to the involved Russian institutions (affiliations on papers, acknowledgements, etc) are not allowed.
