Ukrainian economic association slates conference in Odessa

PHILADELPHIA - The second congress of the International Ukrainian Economic Association (IUEA) will be held in Odessa on May 23-29. Some 300 participants are expected to attend.

Professional economists from the U.S., Canada, Finland, Australia, France and other countries are expected. The main theme of the conference is "Ukraine in the International Environment."

The IUEA was founded in Kyyiv in 1992 to promote international interaction among professional economists interested in the economy of independent Ukraine. The current president of the association, Prof. I. S. Koropeckyj, will be succeeded by academician Borys Burkinsky, who has just been elected to Ukraine's Parliament.

The beautiful city of Odessa has been selected as the site of the conference in order to boost the Ukrainian image of this major port city.

Proceedings of the previous congress have just been published as a collected volume: "The Economy of Ukraine: Past, Present and Future." Edited by M. Herasymchuk (Ukrainian Academy of Sciences) and G. Chuchman (University of Manitoba), the book contains 44 articles in Ukrainian, English and Russian.

Additional information may be obtained from the congress program coordinator, Prof. V. N. Bandera at Temple University in Philadelphia: telephone, (215) 283-1464, fax, (215) 283-1397.
