EGOS is the largest association for organizational researchers in Europe. EGOS is the origin of the periodical “Organization Studies” (Sage Publications), which has become a periodical with high international ranking. EGOS colloquiums have become an important meeting place for organizational researchers all over the world, and is credited with a great deal of attention from major publishers. It has grown over the last few years, and has become an institution in itself. The colloquium embraces a varied field of themes, with contributions over a variety of perspectives within social studies. Many international projects and books have evolved through the sub-groups of EGOS-colloquiums. Read more about EGOS colloquiums at www.egos.org.
