According to Serbian Economist, the Serbian Economists’ Association (SEA) will host the 11th World Congress of Economists, which will take place in Belgrade from June 22 to 26, 2026, the SEA announced.
More than 1,000 leading global economists from prestigious universities are expected to attend. A delegation from the International Economic Association (IEA) was in Belgrade during this time, with SES representatives, led by Chairman Aleksandar Vlahovic, agreeing on the organizational and program details of the forum.
“We had very productive meetings, discussed key issues, and proved that we are ready to organize such a prestigious event at the highest level,” Vlahovic said.
According to him, the importance of the congress is underscored by the fact that the program committee is headed by Harvard University professor and Nobel Prize winner in economics Eric Maskin. Other Nobel laureates and experts who have held key positions in the economic policy of the world’s leading countries are also expected to arrive in Belgrade.
The congress is being held in Southeast Europe for the first time and is returning to Europe after 20 years. The SES believes that this forum will be an opportunity for universities and research institutes in Serbia and the region to establish strong ties with the global academic community, and for businesses and authorities to receive direct recommendations from leading economists.
The World Congress is organized by the International Economic Association (IEA) every three years. The forum brings together hundreds of scientists and experts to discuss global economic trends and new scientific approaches. In 2023, the congress was held in Medellin, Colombia, and brought together representatives of the academic and business worlds from all continents.
The main role of the congress is to bring together academic science and practice, develop dialogue between economists and politicians, and shape innovative solutions for the global economy.
