International Scientific Conference “SOCIETAL INTERACTIONS: RETHINKING MODERN ISSUES"

Invitation to International Scientific Conference “SOCIETAL INTERACTIONS: RETHINKING MODERN ISSUES” 2023 on November 16, 2023.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE (November 16, 2023)

Brittle, anxious, non-linear, and incomprehensible (BANI) is the way many people may feel today. The creator of this new concept is Jamais Cascio, American anthropologist, author and futurist. Modern society raises debatable questions of the meaning of life, social value, personal and organizational engagement so that people and organizations become more resilient and feel engaged in creating more meaning for the surrounding world. 

The scientific community expands on these important issues stating that (Grambmeier, 2020):  

• If something is brittle, it requires capacity and resilience.
• If we feel anxious, we need empathy and mindfulness.
• If something is non-linear, it calls for context and adaptivity.
• If something is incomprehensible, it demands transparency and intuition.

Responding to the challenges of the modern world SMK University of Applied Sciences organizes this scientific conference to gather the academic communities of Lithuania and foreign countries, representatives of science and business to address the problems of societal interactions and rethink modern issues.
