Editorial Note

The main aim of the journal is to analyse scientific and practical problems in the scope of European 
integration processes. The articles are brought under three wide, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary 
themes. These are Social Evolution of Europe (e. g. social equality, migration, cross-cultural 
aspects, education management, etc.), Economics of the European Union (e. g. economic growth, 
competitiveness, financial aspects, comparative analysis of economic situation of countries, etc.) as 
well as Managerial Aspects of European Integration (business management, innovations, human 
capital development aspects, intellectual capital, etc.).

This issue deals with the themes concerned with COVID-19 consequences in deferent spheres, skilled 
immigration problematics as well as participation of Morocco and Tunisia in the European Research 
Area. Community resilience dimensions in the context of European integration are analysed as well. In 
the field of economics of the European Union, productivity challenges, international capital flows in the 
EU, driving growth and innovations, going global aspects as well as employment issues are analysed. 
Special attention is paid to managerial aspects of European integration where growth strategies of 
European SME’s in the service sector using ChatGPT are explored. Corporate social responsibility 
aspects were reflected in several of articles.

It is a key to stress that journal invites scholars submit manuscripts from different countries. Material 
of the manuscripts submitted for publication to the journal must be of a high scientific level and 
previously unpublished.

Since the 2002 Kaunas University of Technology prepares and publishes scientific works under the theme 
of European Processes in the field of politics, economics, management, law, and cultural dimensions. 
At the present, the annual scientific journal European Integration Studies is published once a year. The 
journal is indexed by the following Abstracting and Indexing services: International Databases: Web of 
Science: Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), EBSCO BSP, EBSCO CEEAS, Index Copernicus, CEEOL, 
BASE, MIAR, Lituanistika, DOAJ, etc. Journals in ESCI have passed initial editorial evaluation and can 
continue to be considered for inclusion in products such as SCIE, SSCI, and AHCI, which have rigorous 
evaluation processes and selection criteria. Papers published in the European Integration Studies 
undergone a formal process of double-blind peer review by two appointed external reviewers.

It is believed that the articles included in the journal, being selected and reviewed, are of high scientific 
quality where actual scientific problems are solved, deserve wide distribution. I hope that presented 
new scientific ideas and ways of problem solving will help to develop research not only for academics 
and students but and for wide representatives of society that seek to improve their knowledge in 
European Integration Processes.

In conclusion, the editor would like to thank all authors of the articles for their willingness to share the 
ideas with others.
