The conference provided an opportunity for researchers in Social Sciences to present a paper either in-person or on the virtual platform. The conference topic areas were diverse and included economics, finance, business management, corporate and public governance, political science, sociology, marketing, sport management etc. A unique stream for PhD students’ articles was well supported, and the PhD round session proved invaluable to those who attended.
