About the Conference:

Launched in 2020 by the Department of Economics, the East West Economics Research Conclave was created to provide fresh graduates and emerging researchers with a professional platform to present their work and connect with academics and potential employers. 

Over the years, the Conclave has grown significantly, featuring research from students and young scholars representing leading universities both at home and abroad. To expand its global reach and participation, the conference is held in a hybrid format.

This year, East West University aims to elevate the Conclave to new heights by welcoming not only young researchers but also established academics and industry professionals.
