22nd IGWT Symposium in Poznan, Poland

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great honour and pleasure to invite you to the 22nd IGWT Symposium, titled ”From Commodity to Quality: Shaping a Sustainable Future”, held in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on Quality and Management Sciences. The event will take place from 9 to 11 September 2026 in Poznań, Poland.

After a long hiatus, the IGWT conferences are being resumed, offering a unique opportunity for international scholars and professionals in the fields of commodity science, quality, and management to reconnect and exchange ideas. This joint event will also feature the 3rd ICQMSc, conference traditionally organized in Poznań.

The symposium will be hosted by the Institute of Quality Science at the Poznań University of Economics and Business and co-organized by the International Society of Commodity Science and Technology. The special importance of this event is given by the fact that it is held in the jubilee year of the 100th anniversary of our University. We will be delighted to celebrate this milestone together.

The symposium’s motto invites scholarly reflection on the evolution of our discipline and its role in addressing contemporary global challenges. The scientific program will highlight the latest advancements in quality, commodity, and management sciences, with a special focus on their role in AI-driven transformation and sustainable development. We believe the symposium will provide an excellent platform for presenting research findings and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue at the intersection of social and natural sciences in the era of technological transformation.

We would like to announce that Conference fees have been significantly reduced due to the received Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education funding.

We warmly welcome the participation of experienced researchers, Ph.D. candidates, graduate students, and practitioners interested in all aspects of quality, commodity, and management sciences.

We cordially invite you to join us in Poznań!

Ewa Sikorska, Director of the Institute of Quality Science, Symposium Chairperson

Daniela Gwiazdowska, Head of the Organizing Committee
