We had the honour of hosting the renowned professor of economics, Josef C. Brada from Arizona State University (USA), as keynote speaker.

This year we also organized for the first time the short courses to develop academic publishing skills, covering some special topics in economics and finance. The courses proved to be popular and have become a traditional part of the event.

Professor Ali M. Kutan from Southern Illinois University (USA), Editor of Emerging Markets Finance and Trade and Co-Editor of Economic Systems, gave a half-day course on how to publish in top economics and finance journals. Tal Mofkadi, PhD (Tel Aviv University) delivered a short course on topics in financial modelling, and Kevin R. James, PhD (London School of Economics) on the interrelations between financial markets and economic performance.
