Conference
Challenges of Europe: Growth, Competitiveness, Innovation and Well-being

On behalf of the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism Split, we are very excited to invite you join us in beautiful Bol (Island Brač), Croatia, for the 13th International Conference: “Challenges of Europe: Growth, Competitiveness, Innovation and Well-being” (22-24, May 2019). The deadline for paper submission is February 4, 2019.

The global economy is troubled by a slow and weak recovery. It faces a number of significant and interrelated challenges that could hamper a genuine upturn after an economic crisis half a decade long in much of the world, especially in the most advanced economies.

Given the complexity and the urgency of the situation, European countries are struggling to find ways to cooperate and manage the current economic challenges while preparing their economies to perform well in an increasingly difficult and unpredictable global landscape. Amid the short-term crisis management, it remains critical for countries to establish the fundamentals that underpin innovation processes, economic growth and development in the longer term. Moreover, many determinants that drive the productivity and competitiveness and lead to an understanding of the factors behind this process, have occupied the minds of economists for hundreds of years.

As a result, the goal of this year’s Conference is to study and benchmark the factors underpinning competitiveness, innovation and growth in the modern challenging economic environment. Moreover, in today’s world the companies are not only challenged to run their business profitably, but are required to contribute to the society and the general well-being.

We would like to inform you that our keynote speakers will be:

Eric Maskin (Nobel laureate, 2007),

Oliver Hart (Nobel laureate, 2016),
