On behalf of the Organizers, it is my pleasure to present to your attention these Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Social, economic, and academic leadership (ICSEAL-6-2019).

Our 6th International Conference on Social, economic, and academic was held in Prague by the Prague Institute for Qualification Enhancement during the 13th-14th of December 2019. Conference organisers succeeded in bringing and accommodating professors, researchers, graduate students, and practitioners. The Conference featured keynote presentations, oral presentations and poster presentations held in sessions on specific topics. All presentations were met with a great enthusiasm and followed by long discussions and debates.

The ICSEAL-6-2019 conference was held as yet another conference in the line of successive events following the 1st International Conference “Social, economic, and academic leadership for the future sustainable development of business and education" which was organised in Prague three years ago, in September 2017. Subsequent events and conferences on the same topic held in 2018 and 2019 also resulted in interesting and widely cited Proceedings published by Atlantis Press.

All the papers were carefully selected, peer-reviewed and placed into the six Conference tracks following thematically close areas which helped the organizers to order the contributions in a logical and arranged manner. The overall final structure of the Proceedings from the ICSEAL-6-2019 Conference can be presented as arranged along the six main tracks listed below:
• Leadership in social sciences
• Leadership in business and economics
• Leadership in science and education
• Leadership and sustainability
• Digital and information leadership
• Leadership in international relations and political sciences

Apart from all the above, it was really a pleasure for the conference organisers to host an international mix of outstanding contributors from several countries including China, Czech Republic, Georgia, Russian Federation, and Ukraine.

We are very happy to state that the 6th International Conference on Social, economic, and academic leadership once again succeeded in bringing together academics and stakeholders from the fields of business, economics, education, social sciences, psychology, anthropology, pedagogy, history, and international relations. Together, we managed to create an interesting volume of Proceedings that is worth reading and consulting for everyone interested in leadership in all its forms.

My best wishes,
Prof. Wadim Strielkowski
