On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you to participate in the 36th EBES Conference, in Istanbul, Turkey, which will bring together many distinguished researchers from all over the world. Participants will find opportunities for presenting new research, exchanging information, and discussing current issues. Although we focus on Europe and Asia, all papers from major economics, finance, and business fields – theoretical or empirical – are highly encouraged. The conference will be held as a hybrid event which allows the participants to present via Zoom platform and in-person. Abstract submission for the 36th EBES Conference is now open. I would also like to remind you that the deadline for abstract submission is June 11, 2021. Also, the decision regarding the acceptance/rejection of each abstract/paper will be communicated with the corresponding author within a week of submission. I look forward to receiving your submissions and seeing you on July 1-2-3, 2021 in Istanbul, Turkey. Sincerely, Klaus F. Zimmermann President
