In 2019, the Romanian Society on Ergonomics and Workplace Management (ErgoWork) has been legally established aiming to:

• Create a large national community of knowledge and exchange good and best practices from research and companies in the field of ergonomics and workplace management;
• Increase the visibility of Romanian ergonomist achievements by building “bridges of knowledge” with other Ergonomics associations worldwide, with Federation of European Ergonomics Societies (FEES) and the International Ergonomics Association (IEA).

The dreams of the beginning were strongly shaken by the Covid19 pandemic! In 2020, the first ErgoWork conference took place completely online, but it was a real success and thus created a dynamic and interdisciplinary community of specialists. The projects, initiatives and publications of ErgoWork members have been and are particularly well received, so the association has become a national and international opinion leader.

We aim for ErgoWork 2022 to be a moment of reflection on what has been and will be ... to disseminate our achievements and share the ideas of future project. Thus, you are invited to join this moment and be part of the strength message: ErgoWork for a New Normal!

ErgoWork 2022 International Biennial Conference event is designed to encourages sharing and dissemination of the interdisciplinary developments and achievements in the fields of ergonomics and workplace management.
