Call for papers

EVOLVING ENVIRONMENT, ADAPTING FINANCE: SUSTAINABILITY, TECHNOLOGY, AND INSTABILITY

Unprecedented shifts are shaping global financial systems and company operations. Sustainability factors are increasingly influential in regulatory frameworks and investment choices, while artificial intelligence (AI) and data-centric technologies are transforming financial models and risk assessment. At the macro level, geopolitical instability, deglobalization, and volatility in energy and commodity markets are presenting new difficulties, compelling enterprises to modify their business models, address cybersecurity concerns, and respond to fast evolving customer expectations. The conference seeks to unite the academic and professional sectors to establish a shared forum for addressing intricate challenges and possibilities, while promoting innovation and sustainable solutions.

Highlighted Sessions:

Adherence to sustainability standards and ESG regulations
Financial ramifications of the ESG framework, regulatory obstacles, and best practices.

Worldwide disruptive influences
Macro-level transformations (e.g., geopolitical instability, inflation, deglobalization) and micro-level obstacles (e.g., adaption of company models, financial risk management).

Revolution in finance driven by data
In what ways will artificial intelligence, big data, automation, and predictive analytics revolutionize the finance and accounting profession?

International issues viewed via a local lens
In what manner are Hungarian and Central European SMEs adapting to global trends?

Concealed influences on decision-making: behavioral finance in a contemporary context
Investigation into the psychological foundations of financial decision-making, behavioral biases, and experimental methodologies in volatile contexts.
