Knowledge management has emerged in the last two decades as a key activity for value creation and as well as for economic and social organizational memory building. Culture and organizational learning, supported by modern information and communication technologies, are responsible for multiple knowledge leverage processes, which when properly managed contribute to dynamic organizational sustainability. These and other related topics will be discussed and explored at 15th European Conference on Knowledge Management this year, which is being hosted by the School of Management and Technology of Polytechnic Institute of Santarém,. It will be an excellent opportunity to leverage our knowledge, to share our experiences and to reinforce our academic and scientific networks. Santarém is the capital of the Ribatejo region and is located just in the heart of Portugal. It is an historic region and has been inhabited since pre-historic times. It was founded in 1147 by King Afonso Henriques, when it was known as Scalabis,. This ancient city has been occupied by Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians. Known as the capital of Gothic architectural style, Santarém merges, through a symbiotic approach, the old traditions and modernity. Land of traditions, this city is also known by its churches, its gastronomy, agriculture, horses and bullfights. This edition of European Conference of Knowledge Management, as well of being an opportunity for learning and sharing knowledge, is also an opportunity to discover and embody part of our culture and hospitality.
