International Virtual conference on Ukraine
Jonkoping International Business School (JIBS), in collaboration with its partners, is pleased to announce the inaugural virtual international conference on Ukraine and its future developments.
Use of evidence-based research in Ukraine’s development
August 22-23, 2024
The online conference brings together researchers, academics, development agencies, and industry practitioners to discuss and present ideas related to Ukraine's reform process (evidence-based policy making), addressing implications of research findings for the challenges faced by the Ukrainian people during the ongoing conflict and for post-war economic recovery. As such, we are calling for original evidence-based theoretical, methodological, empirical, and policy-oriented research papers for presentation at the conference. See the Call for Papers for full details and submission process.

- Future drivers of growth in Ukraine
