History
Journal “Global and Regional Dimensions of International Economic Relations” (abbreviated GRDIER) is the legal successor of the publications with the scientific results of the annual student scientific-practical conference, organized by the Department of International Economic Relations ïat Dimitar A. Tsenov Academy of Economics - Svishtov. Until 2020, the editions are conference proceedings with independent ISBN numbers, and from 2021 to 2023 they are periodical collections with a permanent ISSN number - available in the Academy’s Virtual Library at dlib.uni-svishtov.bg.
The first conference was held in 1996 on the idea of Prof. Ivan Stoykov and Head Assistant Simeon Momchev, lecturers at the department. The first participants were the 3rd year IER students at the Tsenov Academy of Economics, and the thematic focus was on international investments.
Since 2014, the event has been joined by professors and students from the Department of International Economic Relations at the University of Economics – Varna, and in 2015 from the Department of Economics and International Relations at the Angel Kanchev University of Ruse.
Over the years, the conference has established itself as a forum for the scientific expression of students and doctoral students outside the classroom and has created an opportunity to break the formal lecturer-student relationship, exchange experience in conducting events, and freely share creative ideas. Gradually, the topics have expanded and cover a wide range of areas, entering the sphere of international economic relations and international business.
