On 13 September 2019, the Italian community working on Business Process Management (BPM) -related topics gathered “under the same roof” for the first time. The BPMItaly Community was founded at the University of Bologna, and organized by inviting those groups that historically have worked on BPM in the last years. In the end, more than 20 research nodes all over Italy joined the Community

Details, program, slides of this initial event are published here.

The Community has decided to:

• continue with future editions of BPMItaly with a conference-style system open to con- tributions coming from Italy and abroad, and encouraging two types of submissions: original contributions and extended abstracts of already published results. The list of past and forthcoming editions is available here;
• map the ongoing Italian teaching activities and research lines relevant for BPM;
• create a repository of models and logs coming from the territory and to be opened to the entire community;
• investigate and promote a strong engagement with the industry and the public administration.

Joining the BPMItaly Community is free-of-charge and based solely on academic merits. Participations of the members of nodes is strongly suggested and the yearly events.
