EBES: About Eurasia Business and Economics Society was founded in early 2008; however, the idea of creating such organization goes back to a couple of years earlier. In spite of the term “Eurasia”, the scope should be understood in its broadest term having a global emphasis. EBES aims to improve its ability to bring together worldwide researchers and professionals, encourage intellectual development of scholars and provide network opportunities for conference attendees for making long lasting academic cooperations. Any scholar or professional interested in economics, finance, and business around the world is welcome to attend EBES conferences and submit their research papers to the EBES journals.
