International Conference
“European Finance, Business and Regulation”
EUFIRE 2021
Dear Madam/Sir,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are glad to invite you to submit your papers and participate in the International Conference “EU Finance, Business and Regulation EUFIRE 2021” organized by Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi (Romania), on the 14th of May 2021.
The conference aims at offering the framework for debating the main challenges faced within European Union and globally, emphasizing the regulatory perspective for the financial sector in particular, and also for the business sector, in general. The event will reunite academics, researchers and practitioners, both from Romania and abroad, and will provide the necessary background for the development of constructive analysis and productive dialogue. The participation into the sessions of the event will be opened to academics, researchers, students and practitioners with interests in EU economic, public administration and legal studies, in order to present the results of their scientific work and/or to attend/participate at the discussions.
In response to the actual restrictive challenges for organizing academic events, the conference organizing committee proposes the on-line format, guaranteeing the opportunity for all the participants to bring up their research results for debate, both in plenary sessions and in panel discussions. The conference is offering the possibility to present the papers and to benefit of other specialists’ pertinent opinion on the results of the research. Young researchers are kindly invited to send their contributions. However, health security conditions permitting the face-to-face meeting by mid-May 2021, sessions will be partially organized at the conference actual venue, favoring productive discussions among fellow academics and practitioners.
We are delighted to announce the presence of our two keynote speakers:
