On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you to participate in the 21st EBES Conference, in Budapest, Hungary, 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. Qualified papers will be published in the EBES journals (Eurasian Business Review and Eurasian Economic Review) and EBES Proceedings. EBES journals (EABR and EAER) and Proceedings are published by Springer.

In addition, all the submitted full papers will be included in the conference proceedings CD. After the conference, participants will also have the opportunity to send their paper to be published in the Springer’s series Eurasian Studies in Business and Economics. This will also be sent to Thomson Reuters in order to be reviewed for coverage in its Conference Proceedings Citation Index. Please note that the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th EBES Conference Proceedings are accepted for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings Citation Index. Subsequent conference proceedings are in progress.

Abstract submission for the 21st EBES Conference is now open. I would also like to remind you that the deadline for abstract submission is November 1, 2016. Also, the decision regarding the acceptance/rejection of each abstract/paper will be communicated with the corresponding author within a week of submission.
