Call for Papers

59th EBES Conference
Rome

On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you to participate in the 59th EBES Conference in Rome, Italy which will bring together many distinguished researchers from all over the world. Participants will find opportunities for presenting new research, exchanging information, and discussing current issues. Although we focus on Europe and Asia, all papers from major economics, finance, and business fields – theoretical or empirical – are highly encouraged.

The conference will be held in a hybrid mode. The in-person and online portions of the conference will be organized separately. The first two days of the conference (April 15th and 16th) will be dedicated to in-person participation, and the third day (April 17th) will be entirely online. Regular in-person sessions will be held exclusively in person and will not be streamed or accessible online. During the in-person days, only special sessions — such as the opening speech, editors’ session, keynote speech, and the best paper award session — will be available for online viewing. Online sessions on the third day will be held fully online as usual.

Qualified papers can be published in EBES journals (Eurasian Business Review and Eurasian Economic Review) or EBES proceedings books after a peer review process without any submission or publication fees. EBES journals (EABR and EAER) and proceedings books are published by Springer. While EAER is indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (Clarivate Analytics) and Scopus, EABR is indexed in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and Scopus. Furthermore, the qualified papers from the conference will be published in the regular issues of Eastern European Economics (SSCI & Scopus) and Singapore Economic Review (SSCI & Scopus) after a fast-track review.

In addition, all the submitted full papers will be included in the conference proceedings in a USB. After the conference, participants will have the opportunity to send their paper to be published in the Springer’s series Eurasian Studies in Business and Economics. This is indexed by Scopus. It will also be sent to Clarivate Analytics in order to be reviewed for coverage in the Conference Proceedings Citation Index – Social Science & Humanities (CPCI-SSH).

Abstract submission and registration for the 59th EBES Conference will open on December 15, 2026. We would also like to remind you that the extended deadline for abstract submission is March 22, 2027. Also, the decision regarding the acceptance/rejection of each abstract/paper will be communicated with the corresponding author within a week of submission.

I look forward to receiving your submissions and seeing you on April 15-17, 2027 in Rome, Italy.

Sincerely,

Klaus F. Zimmermann

President
