Business and Science Conference (SPIN) is a scientific and professional conference organized by the Center for Operations Management at the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Organizational Sciences since 2003. Several conferences have been organized in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia.
This year’s XV Business and Science Conference SPIN ’25 is jointly organized by the Center for Operations Management of FON and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia – Belgrade Chamber of Commerce. Following current global trends in the field, this year’s conference is dedicated to the digital transformation of supply chains through the application of contemporary information and communication technologies of Industry 4.0. The theme of SPIN ’25 is: ‘‘Digital transformation of supply chains in Industry 4.0.’’
The primary goal of the conference is the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experiences, as well as international and national best practices, and the presentation of solutions offered by Industry 4.0 in support of the digital transformation of supply chains.
The conference represents a unique national forum with international participation for discussing current issues and exchanging the latest information and applicable solutions that operations management can offer to international, regional, and national business practice.
We expect participation of entrepreneurs, managers, government, and other institutions on one hand, and members of the academic community, researchers, and consultants from universities and scientific institutes on the other. Conference activities will include a plenary session, panel discussions, and thematic sessions, where the latest insights into the opportunities, challenges, advantages, and solutions of Industry 4.0 for supply chain digitization will be presented.
Industry 4.0 was first introduced in Hannover in 2011 at CeBIT, the world’s largest trade fair for information technology, telecommunications, software, and services, as a scientific and technological development program for German industry. Since then, it has become a global project. It is based on advanced technological solutions whose implementation in the business sector contributes to the improvement of operations, encompassing the continuous digitalization of business functions and processes across various industries. Industry 4.0 is a collective term for the application of advanced technologies, systems, concepts, and solutions in the organization of value chains. Some of the main components of Industry 4.0 include artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, Big Data, robotics, Cloud Computing, augmented reality, additive manufacturing, and cybersecurity, among others. Supply chains provide a suitable environment for the application of Industry 4.0 technologies, and therefore, in recent years, the term Supply Chain 4.0 has been increasingly used. Supply Chain 4.0 involves the reorganization of all processes within the chain (planning, supply, production, delivery, and reverse flows) using Industry 4.0 technologies.
On behalf of the Program and Organizing Committees, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the jubilee XV Business and Science Conference – SPIN ’25, and to contribute to its success by presenting scientific research results, participating in panel discussions, or showcasing examples of best business practices.
