Started from 2019, the Romanian Society on Ergonomics and Workplace Management (ErgoWork) has been legally established. During the first meeting of the Society Directory Board (October 25, 2019) there has been initiated the organization of the first international conference considering two aims simultaneously:

A. Creating a large national community of knowledge and exchange good and best practices from research and companies in the field of ergonomics and workplace management;

B. Increasing 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).

In this context, it is our great honor to invite you to the ErgoWork 2020 scientific event which is designed to encourages sharing and dissemination of the interdisciplinary developments and achievements in the fields of ergonomics and workplace management. In the conference framework we have proposed a large variety of topics for publishing articles related to contributors’ experiences, practices and research results.
