2. Keynote Speaker: Prof. Dr David RAE – De Mondfort University/ UNITED KINGDOM
Topic: The individual – collective construct in entrepreneurship: competing or complementary ideologies?
There is a long-standing duopoly in entrepreneurship between individualistic, free-market approaches and collectivist, community and social models. Individualism is based on economic thinkers such as Hayek, Kirzner and McClelland, whilst collectivism is rooted more in social psychology and community activism (e.g. Peredo, MacLeod, Lackeus). There is a legitimate ‘middle- ground’ which recognises that individual leadership and innovation is needed to stimulate collective action. This presentation is based on Entrepreneurial Collective Intelligence (ECI) work by Rae & Blenker (2022) which explored how entrepreneurial communities used collective action and agency, informed by intelligence, to be effective.
One finding was to discover the dense network of individualistic, free-enterprise and libertarian organisations which promote their discourse into Higher Education, students and educators. The extent of this network is revealed, and examples of their educational and student-oriented materials are highlighted.
The presentation asks why does this matter, for learners, educators and institutions?
Critical questions are posed about the promoters, organisations and their political and economic agendas:
Who are the individualistic and free-market entrepreneurship groups?
What is their organising philosophy and ideology?
How can we recognise them?
What do they offer, and who benefits from their work?
How can we balance individualistic and collectivist approaches?

Title: Labor Market Effects of Artificial Intelligence Assisted Applications in Hungary - a managerial and marketing approach.
Abstract: It confirmed that the creative industry, and in particular the world of illustrators, is undergoing major, revolutionary changes. The perception of such programs is very divided, with stakeholders seeing them as both a source of danger and a new opportunity. The perception is varied among different generations, with young people more critical and fearful. For businesses, they provide significant cost savings. They are very useful at the design phase and can also achieve a higher level of customization, which is the basis and main objective of marketing orientation. The study also mentions other short cases in the field of HRM, marketing and branding.

THE ROLE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENT LEADER IN THE VUCA TIMES
The world is changing quite quickly. This rate of change is brought on by urbanization, technological advancement, and rising energy use. Businesses that operate in the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) environment are directly impacted by these developments, which may lead to a number of unexpected shocks in the form of "black swans," or uncommon and
unanticipated occurrences. The business sector is starting to realize that emotion may be a useful source of information that, when understood and used well, can produce amazing outcomes. A crucial aspect of leadership is emotional intelligence (EI), which is the capacity of leaders to recognize how their behavior and feelings impact others around them inside the company. Leadership and emotional intelligence go hand in hand as emotional intelligence shows how well a leader can set people up for success and support their growth. This is possible in a workplace with well-defined objectives, a culture of initiative, motivation, respect for one another, and trust, as well as an understanding of each person's unique position and contributions. Organizational change, development, growth, transformation, and sustainability all depend on effective leadership, which is centered around a clear mission, vision, and strategy. For this reason, effective leaders who can
guide their organizations to success both short- and long-term are in high demand across all industries. Leadership and emotional intelligence go hand in hand as emotional intelligence shows how well a leader can set people up for success and support their growth. This is possible in a workplace with well-defined objectives, a culture of initiative, motivation, respect for one another, and trust, as well as an understanding of each person's unique position and contributions. The development of emotions is the main duty of leadership, which is a crucial component that upholds the dynamic interaction between emotional intelligence and leadership.
7. Keynote Speakers: Prof.Dr. Pablo García Sempere – University of Granada /SPAIN
Topic: Creating a new model for Teacher Education: inclusive co-teaching with teachers with intellectual disabilities
Creativity plays a fundamental role in generating creative responses that offer solutions to social, economic, cultural, and other demands. Creativity allows us to find innovative solutions to address problems and challenges in an increasingly complex and globalized world.
Teacher training is one of the fundamental bases for improving education and being able to attend to human diversity. Inclusive co-teaching is a new teacher training model that consists of giving voice to groups such as people with intellectual disabilities and recognizing their pedagogical authority in university teaching of content related to their life experiences.
