The conference provides an opportunity for students of doctoral study programmes of Czech and foreign universities with the opportunity to present results of their research activities and get feedback and recommendations for further research from senior researchers and other conference participants. The aim of the conference is to bring young researchers and PhD students to share experience and original research contributions on selected topics concerning economic studies.
The official language of the conference is English. Translation and interpreting services will not be available.
Conference participants will receive a printed version of the Book of Extended Abstracts. An on-line version of the Book of Extended Abstracts will be available on the conference website.
