The annual conference at IOS Regensburg traditionally attracts a fascinating combination of interdisciplinary scholars. This year, the balance was tilted towards historians and economists discussing the business history. We came there to present our excavations into the history of state-owned enterprises in Poland after 1989, as was the key part of the PRIVATIZATION project. We received incredibly valuable feedback on our papers, especially from the IOS in-house team. We are looking forward to the next events!
