The International Conference on Management, Economics and Humanities (ICMEH) has tried to be a pillar of global academic exchange and it is a key platform for global academic exchange. Since 2016, we've held 16 successful conferences across Europe. We focus on how human behavior, business strategy, and large-scale economics meet. Our top priorities are always integrity, careful double peer review, and building a friendly, supportive research community.

Foundational Years: Editions 1st through 7th
The first seven ICMEH conferences, from 2016 to 2018, were essential for starting the conference in Europe and building its base across disciplines. These early events were held in important cities like Amsterdam, Batumi (Georgia), Athens, Istanbul, London, and Rome. They focused on core topics like early globalization, basic economic models, pre-pandemic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and classic theories of organization.
