The last BISE Editorial board meeting took place on 8 March 2020 in Potsdam and was co-located with the International Conference on Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI2020). This was just 1 week before COVID-19 restrictions were imposed in Germany. It was, by the way, also our first Editorial Board Meeting held in a hybrid (analog and digital) mode. One day later, on March 9, the first coronavirus death in Germany was reported, and on the same day, the government of Italy imposed a national quarantine. WI 2020 was probably one of the last major conferences to take place in 2020 in the usual (i.e., face-toface) form. In the weeks following our BISE Editorial board meeting, universities and schools were closed and conferences were canceled or converted into online events. The way the COVID-19 pandemic was handled varied from county to country, but it dramatically impacted every individual and every organization on the globe. Next to the devastating short-term effects, we believe that there will also be longer-term effects on education and scientific gatherings. It will permanently change the way we work, educate, interact, and do business (the ‘‘new normal’’). Therefore, in this editorial, we reflect on the effects of COVID-19 on BISE Research and Education.

COVID-19 对 BISE 研究和教育的影响

上一次 BISE 编委会会议于 2020 年 3 月 8 日在波茨坦举行，与国际经济信息学会议 (WI2020) 同地举行。这距离德国实施 COVID-19 限制仅 1 周。顺便说一下，这也是我们第一次以混合（模拟和数字）模式举行的编辑委员会会议。一天后，也就是 3 月 9 日，德国报告了首例冠状病毒死亡病例，同一天，意大利政府实施了全国隔离。WI 2020 可能是 2020 年最后一次以通常（即面对面）形式举行的主要会议之一。在 BISE 编辑委员会会议之后的几周内，大学和学校关闭，会议被取消或转换为在线活动。COVID-19 大流行的处理方式因县而异，但它极大地影响了全球的每个人和每个组织。除了毁灭性的短期影响之外，我们相信还会对教育和科学聚会产生长期影响。它将永久改变我们的工作、教育、互动和经商方式（“新常态”）。因此，在这篇社论中，我们反思了 COVID-19 对 BISE 研究和教育的影响。
