This will help to provide a summary of current research along with predictions of where research is likely to go in the future on the subjects of complexity, nonlinearity, consciousness, intrinsic intelligence, collective intelligence, connectivity, autopoiesis, adaptation, diversity, self-organisation, emergence, dissipation, edge of chaos, butterfly effect and sustainability. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit articles to IJCLM so that they can share their research on the subject.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Leadership sensitive to initial input, innovation and creativity
• Empirical research in frameworks and practices
• Internationalisation
• Cultural entrepreneurship
• Digitalisation and artificial intelligence
• Tourism management
• Nonlinear intelligence/thinking, knowledge management, organisational learning
• Complexity/intelligence mindset, intelligence paradigms

• Complexity adaptive dynamics, complexity/intelligence-centric processes
• Impact of managerial organisation on communities
• Developments and changes in managerial ideas
• Gender impact on organisations

IJCLM is an international peer-reviewed journal. It aims to promote a deeper comprehension and to provide dialogue across country borders and cultures on the issues of complexity in leadership, governance and management. In this respect, it aims to serve as a platform where new philosophies, theories, empirical research findings and case studies can be published and shared internationally.

IJCLM is a vehicle which provides the latest findings, developments and thinking in management, governance and leadership to corporate leaders, company managers, business consultants, education leaders, national policy makers, military leaders, academics and researchers. IJCLM is also a forum through which different stakeholders worldwide can disseminate new thinking, theories, strategies and practices involved in complexity in leadership, governance and management, thus learning from each other's expertise and experience.

IJCLM publishes original papers in theoretical development and empirical research, case studies, discussion papers, conference reports, book reviews, commentaries and news dealing with the frontiers of complexity in leadership, governance and management. IJCLM welcomes worldwide contributions from academics, researchers, policy makers, corporate leaders, educators and business consultants and practitioners with interest in the topics specified.

All articles for this journal must be submitted using the online submissions system available via the Submitting Articles tab at www.inderscience.com/ijcih. Please follow all instructions and author guidelines.

There are no charges for publishing with this journal, unless you require your article to be Open Access. You can find more information on OA here.

Dr. Abdessamad Didi, Editor in Chief of the International Journal of Power and Energy Conversion, cordially invites general submissions to IJPEC, particularly those that "empower tomorrow" by navigating the complex landscape of energy challenges and sustainable solutions.

Dr. Didi expands as follows:

"Today, the increasing demand for energy poses a significant challenge, and the effective utilisation of this energy requires a complex process involving several essential elements. This includes mobilising qualified human resources, establishing well-equipped structures and leveraging the knowledge and expertise of all involved stakeholders. The harmonious coordination of these diverse elements is crucial to ensuring the success of this endeavour.

From this perspective, power and energy conversion (whether thermal, nuclear, solar, etc.) play a central role. The mastery of these aspects is currently within our reach, allowing us to positively influence the future of energy management. This involves not only adopting cutting-edge conversion technologies but also implementing sustainable energy practices and policies.

Simultaneously, it is essential to consider all anomalies and potential challenges that may arise in this process. This requires constant vigilance and the implementation of adaptive correction mechanisms. The lessons learned from these experiences will contribute to continuously improving our practices and strengthening our resilience for future challenges.

Furthermore, one of the perspectives that generates significant interest is water production through seawater desalination. While this approach requires considerable power and energy, it offers a valuable solution to meeting the growing demand for drinking water. The ongoing development of more efficient and sustainable desalination technologies is therefore a strategic area for the future.

In summary, managing energy and power today requires a holistic approach, involving synergies among human resources, conversion technologies, continuous process monitoring and innovative initiatives such as seawater desalination. It is through a thorough understanding of these elements and consistent implementation that we can shape a more sustainable future for humanity on Earth. All of these aspects can have a profound impact on our success, and in this regard, we aim to contribute to the advancement of science through the International Journal of Power and Energy Conversion, and invite researchers to contribute to our journal to promote scientific progress and create a promising future."
