Abstract

The ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL SESSION OF SCIENTIFIC PAPERS - IMT Oradea 2020 is an International Conference which held, usually, in Felix Spa, near Oradea, in the NorthWestern part of Romania. We are delighted, proud, and honored to be your hosts every year at the scientific events of the Faculty of Managerial and Technological Engineering at the University of Oradea. But, this year, our Conference held virtually, due to the mass disruption caused by the coronavirus.We had to find solutions so as not to affect the continuity in the annual event of the Conference, even if on March 16, 2020, a state of emergency was declared on the Romanian territory. The decision of the Romanian authorities was referred to as travel, transport, and accommodation restrictions, respectively, the closure of restaurants and the prohibition of public meetings, even the formation of groups of more than three people. Thus, we were morally obliged towards our fellow researchers, university professors, scientists, to find feasible solutions for the Conference. Therefore, we found that the best option is to change the format of the Conference to a virtual format, with the presentation of works online, live video-audio.The Conference’s Editors And CommitteesList of Editors, Editorial Board, Scientific Committee and Steering Committee are available in this pdf.
