Information Society and Sustainable Development—Selected Papers from the 5th International Conference ISSD 2018

Dear Colleagues,

The Information Society and Sustainable Development represent dominant characteristics in the evolution of contemporary economies. They shape, in a great extent, the future of human society. Both elements have been imposed as specific paradigms in achieving a functional and highly competitive model for an economy.

This Special Issue will consist of selected papers from the Information Society and Sustainable Development International Scientific Symposium (2018), which will be held in Targu-Jiu, Gorj County, Romania, during 27–28April 2018.

The international conference “Information Society and Sustainable Development”—ISSD—is organized by the Center of Fundamental and Applied Economic Studies (CSEFA) within the Faculty of Economics, "Constantin Brancusi" University of Târgu Jiu, Romania, in partnership with:

• Economics Research Center, Romanian American University, Bucharest, Romania

• Institute of Sustainable Financial Systems, University of Szczecin, Poland

• Wyższa Szkoła Bankowa University in Wroclaw, Poland.

The main aim of the symposium is to encourage and facilitate the dissemination of interdisciplinary research, from a broader perspective, from scientists, professionals, and academia, in the field of green economics development.

The papers submitted and selected for this Special Issue should neither have been previously published nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere, and are subject to a very rigorous peer review process.
