27th Annual EAIE Conference

In September 2015, the EAIE Conference is heading to Glasgow, Scotland for its 27th Annual EAIE Conference. Next to an innovative and cutting edge conference programme, you can expect more than a 'wee dash' of the famous Glaswegian culture, hospitality, and even some EAIE tartan thrown into the mix!

World economies are strengthening. Positivity is spreading. Education is evolving. As we cautiously head into a more fruitful economic era, it is only by acknowledging our individual strengths and combining them with the strengths of others that we can truly exploit the wealth of knowledge residing in Europe’s diverse nations. Economists will recognise the term ‘Wealth of nations’ from the fundamental classical economics work by key Scottish Enlightenment leader, Adam Smith. Educated at Glasgow University, Smith’s thinking influenced economists as well as governments and organisations during the Age of Enlightenment – promoting intellectual interchange, using reason to reform society to ultimately pave the way for the modernisation of the Atlantic World.
