The ”Management, Leadership and Innovation towards a better changing world” Conference represents an important step regarding the activity of scientific research in The Romanian-American University. Through it, the Organizing Committee aims to create the favorable context to revival the pragmatic research, facilitating meetings of Romanian and internationals professors with representatives of prestigious research institutions and experts from the business area and professional associations.

The event aims to clarify, through the results obtained by scientific research, a number of aspects regarding the Romanian tourism potential, the repositioning of Romania on the European and international tourism map, the latest and the most efficient marketing techniques and methods, the harmonization of practices used in Romania with those used at the international level etc.

The international conference provides a forum for discussion, collaboration, partnership and intellectual exchange for all those interested in any of these fields of research and practice.

We also encourage our students (from both bachelor and masters programs) as well as our graduates to register for the conference. For them we will organize a meeting in September, where we will offer guidance in how to elaborate a scientific research paper.
