The world is experiencing rapid technological progress, global economic shifts, and unprecedented environmental and social challenges, placing Operations Management at a critical juncture. Traditional, isolated approaches are insufficient for managing today's complex and interconnected issues, necessitating a decisive embrace of multi-disciplinarity.

The EurOMA 2025 conference will focus on the integration of multi-disciplinary approaches in Operations Management to tackle these grand challenges. Key themes include:

1. **Complex Problem Solving**: Addressing issues like climate change, supply chain disruptions, and socio-economic inequalities requires solutions incorporating environmental science, economics, sociology, and data analytics. Strategies need to be robust and holistic.

2. **Innovation and Agility**: Multi-disciplinary teams promote innovation through diverse ideas, essential for creating agile operations that quickly adapt to changing environments.

3. **Sustainable Practices**: Aligning business objectives with societal goals leads to responsible and sustainable operations, overcoming sustainability paradoxes for the common good.

4. **Enhanced Decision-Making**: Leveraging diverse expertise improves decision-making processes, utilizing vast data to make informed operational decisions.

5. **Human-Centric Technology**: Developing technology to benefit society and the planet involves integrating disciplines like psychology, ergonomics, sociology, and bioengineering.

The conference aims to redefine Operations Management by:

- Embracing multi-disciplinary approaches

- Cultivating collaborative environments

- Investing in education and training

- Researching human-centric advanced technologies

- Engaging with diverse stakeholders

By integrating diverse insights and methodologies, the goal is to create resilient, innovative, and sustainable operations capable of addressing contemporary grand challenges. Participants are invited to explore, learn, and contribute to this transformative journey.
