Extended Call for Papers: EuroFM Research Symposium 2025

The EuroFM Research Network calls for papers to be presented at the 24th EuroFM Research Symposium 2025 in connection with the EuroFM Conference, on 1-2 December 2025 in Trondheim, Norway. The Research Symposium will be held in connection with the European Facility Management Network Conference, in collaboration with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

The theme of the 2025 symposium is Social Facility Management (FM). With increased inequalities, lack of social connection at work, and ethical concerns related to the new digital era, we want to focus on the opportunities of the FM industry to support a socially just and sustainable society. We welcome research on topics including, but not limited to:

  • Social sustainability and circularity, e.g., revitalization and regeneration
  • Social connection and sense of belonging, e.g., at the workplace
  • Engagement and participatory approaches in FM
  • Diversity and inclusiveness, e.g. gender and neurodiversity at the workplace
  • Ethics and integrity, related to e.g. AI applications in FM

We warmly invite you to submit your research for the symposium and contribute to the advancement of Facility Management knowledge. The EuroFM Network encourages both academic and professional researchers to submit their papers and to join the EuroFM Research Symposium.
