EMANES ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2026: "Green Industrialization in the EU, Mediterranean, and Africa: Pathways to a Just and Resilient Transition" The EMANES Annual Conference provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore socio-economic trends and regional integration across Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa. Each year, the conference addresses a key theme reflecting global transformations and policy priorities. In 2026, EMANES celebrates its eleventh year since the launch of the network. The 2026 edition explores pathways to accelerate green industrialization, through a paradigm shift that seeks to align State-led investments with climate goals, environmental sustainability, and inclusive economic growth. Amid accelerating climate change, geopolitical fragmentation, and shifting global value chains, countries across Europe, the Mediterranean and Africa face the urgent need to redesign their industrial policies. This includes fostering low-carbon production systems, strengthening resilience, ensuring energy security, and promoting technological innovation while advancing social inclusion and competitiveness. The conference aims to explore how green industrial policies can support structural transformation, economic diversification, competitiveness and regional cooperation and integration—while addressing inequalities and ensuring a just transition.

6th Workshop on Financial Econometrics and Empirical Modeling of Financial Markets
Nowadays Central banks must navigate several challenges simultaneously, adapting their policies to address unforeseen crises, geopolitical turmoil, and long-term environmental issues. The role of central banks is expanding beyond traditional economic stabilization, requiring them to consider broader global risks and work in coordination with fiscal and regulatory authorities to ensure economic resilience in an ever-changing world. Monetary policy, as a flexible and adaptable tool, is essential in addressing the complex interplay of these critical factors. The different challenges have in common that monetary policy also needs to adjust and develop tools to accommodate the increasing uncertainty surrounding the future path of inflation and the real economy. This workshop attempts to bring together researchers from different areas to address these challenges. We invite researchers to present their original work on related topics including, but not necessarily limited to, the following: Monetary policy in a high inflation environment Change in monetary policy and financial market effects Inflation expectation in a high inflation regime Geopolitical tensions, inflation and monetary policy Monetary policy transmission in times of uncertainty and the role of financial markets Macroeconomic effects of uncertainty and geopolitical risk Central bank communication and financial markets Green central banking and green finance Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Spillover effects in expectations and uncertainty Date and Venue: The workshop will be held on October 22 and 23, 2026 at the FernUniversität in Hagen, Campus Berlin. The venue is the Berlin Campus of the FernUniversität in Hagen (Kurfürstendamm 21, D-10719 Berlin). Program: TBA Organizing Committee: Robert L.

Call for Papers - 4th North American Conference on Islamic Finance (NACIF) 2026
Islamic Finance: A Value-Based Approach to Sustainable Growth In an era of increasing financial turbulence, ethical considerations in finance have become more critical than ever. The instability in global financial markets stems largely from flawed corporate practices, regulatory loopholes, and an erosion of ethical values in business operations. The consequences of corporate misconduct, financial scandals, and unsustainable financial practices highlight the urgent need for a fundamental shift toward ethical and responsible finance. Islamic finance offers a value-based alternative by emphasizing transparency, ethical business conduct, sustainability, and social responsibility.

Call for Papers: Talent Economics Conference 2026 Global Talent Fund and the Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF) invite submissions for the Talent Economics Conference. The conference aims to bring together leading researchers to discuss frontier research on the economics of talent. We are particularly interested in three questions. First, how does exceptional STEM talent develop, and what role do cognitive ability, effort, environment, and noise in measurement play in producing the right tail of the distribution? Second, how can high-potential young people be identified earlier and more reliably, particularly outside the rich-country institutions that currently capture them? Third, how do exceptional individuals shape scientific discovery, productivity, and growth: through their own output, through spillovers to peers, and through the networks they help form? We welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions on topics including, but not limited to: Gifted education programs and interventions Early indicators of future STEM excellence Access to higher education for talented individuals Sectoral allocation of talent and its consequences Cognitive ability and human capital accumulation The role of talented individuals in science and innovation Keynote speakers: Prithwiraj (Raj) Choudhury, LSE John Van Reenen, LSE Program committee Ruchir Agarwal (Harvard University and Global Talent Fund) Gaia Dossi (Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance) Patrick Gaule (University of Bristol and Global Talent Fund) PhD workshop: A half-day workshop on Talent Economics will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday 21 October 2026. The workshop will offer PhD students and postdocs an introduction to the field’s central questions, data sources, and empirical approaches. How to submit Authors should submit a complete paper in PDF format here or by using the “Submit a paper” button below. We also welcome expressions of interest to pitch a paper for 5 minutes and/or attend the conference without presentation.

International Conference on Applied Business and Economics (22nd Edition ICABE 2026)
The 22nd edition of ICABE is about navigating the future. It invites participants to reflect on how innovation, digital assets, and decentralization can be harnessed not as ends in themselves, but as tools to build resilient economies, responsible enterprises, and inclusive societies in a world defined by continuous change. The Conference’ Objectives are to: • Foster interdisciplinary collaboration and idea exchange. • Showcase cutting-edge research and technological advancements. • Explore sustainable business practices and educational innovations. • Develop actionable strategies for real-world impact. Key Topics: We invite contributions on, but not limited to, the following topics: • Sustainable business models and strategies. • Emerging technologies are driving innovation. • Educational tools and methods for the future. • Integrating technology for sustainable development. • Public-private partnerships and policy implications. In addition to these we accept manuscripts in all discipline described in the AEA list (see the link) ” https://icabe.gr/conference-sessions/
The 22nd ICABE 2026 focuses on how rapid technological, economic, and societal changes are transforming the global economy. It highlights the rise of smart economies, which use technologies like AI, big data, blockchain, and IoT to improve efficiency, policymaking, and collaboration, and adaptive enterprises, which must continuously evolve through digital transformation, agility, and data-driven strategies to stay competitive. The conference also examines the growing importance of digital assets and decentralized systems, such as cryptocurrencies and DeFi, which are reshaping finance, ownership, and trust while raising regulatory and stability concerns. More broadly, decentralization is redistributing power in economies and organizations, offering opportunities for inclusion but also creating governance challenges. A key focus is on managing emerging risks, including cybersecurity, ethical issues, financial instability, and digital inequality. Overall, the conference aims to explore how innovation can drive sustainable growth while balancing the complexities and risks of a rapidly changing world.
