“Legitimacy in a Changing World”



Roskilde and Lund universities will host the international research conference on the

interrelation between organisation and society, “Legitimacy in a changing world”.

New coordination processes of society imply that organisations are increasingly involved

in continuous legitimisation processes and increasingly influence the meaning formation

of society.  The conference will explore these complex interrelations.


The conference constitutes the 9th annual EUPRERA congress and the 1st LOKE conference.

 EUPRERA is the European Public Relations Education and Research Association

(www.euprera.org). LOKE is the Nordic research network on organisational legitimacy

(www.ruc.dk/pr/LOKE/ ).
