The 5th Farkas Ferenc International Scientific Conference took place at the University of Pécs Faculty of Business and Economics, focusing this year on human-centred leadership and change management in the age of artificial intelligence.

The two-day event honours the intellectual legacy of Professor Dr. Ferenc Farkas, while creating a valuable platform for Hungarian and international researchers, educators, corporate professionals and young scholars to exchange ideas.

One of the key strengths of the conference is its interdisciplinary approach. Participants are discussing current questions related to artificial intelligence, digitalisation, organisational change, leadership, resilience and employee well-being. We are especially honoured that several defining figures of Hungarian management science are also taking part in the event, including Attila Chikán, Miklós Dobák, Gyula Bakacsi and József Poór.

We would like to thank our corporate and professional partners for contributing to the conference not only as supporters, but also as active participants, strengthening the dialogue between academia and the business world.
