Annual International Conference

BEROC is pleased to announce that its First Annual International Conference took place on December 28, 2009 in Minsk.

This is our first major move to integrate Belarusian economic community into the global academic environment. In order to attract Western-trained Belarusian economists to the problems of Belarusian economy, we provide a place for meeting between Belarusians who left and those who stayed in Belarus.
