Mission

The Economics Students Congress, which was first organized by Ege University in our country, has been taken as a precedent and its content and quality have been improved, making it the most dynamic and innovative congress in this field.

The congress conducted by the Genç Ekonomistler® Club is also a brand patented study. In order for the organization to become a national & international brand, the club management has obtained a brand patent for 10 years with its own means. The congress is held under the name of “Genç Ekonomistler”, especially in order to ensure the continuity of the congress over the years and for the club, which has achieved success many times with academic activities, to continue its active work. It is the most comprehensive study in its field with compulsory academic courses in order to develop brand value and contribute to students socially. It has achieved a quality that is difficult to replace with the transparent structure of the entire process from beginning to end and a structure organized entirely by students. In addition, the organization of many scientific sessions with the participation of international scientific board members and invited speakers has also ensured the creation of a rich academic video archive.
