The West East Institute is a global scientific and academic learned society founded in 2012 for the purpose of disseminating the latest academic research on various business, economics, and social sciences-related topics. The scope of our mission has expanded to include many areas of academic knowledge, including geography, education, culture, and more.

Having established the Journal of WEI Business and Economics and the West East Journal of Social Sciences in 2012, The West East Institute is becoming known for publishing quality research for the benefit of the global academic community. We also sponsor several international conferences annually attended by a diverse array of academics and professionals from many nations, cultures, and religions around the world. These conferences are intended to promote excellence in academic research and provide a platform for academics and researchers to share their completed and ongoing research and network with colleagues. It is also a welcoming environment for graduate students to present their work and receive valuable feedback.

Each conference has two broad tracks: Education, Humanities, & Social Sciences; and Economics, Finance, & Management. At our conferences, not only may many nations of the world be seen in each session meeting room, but a diverse array of topics of enquiry may be encountered.

Our publications and conferences represent the community of nations. The diversity of culture, ethnicity, and religion is paired with a common, unifying purpose of excellence in science and philosophical enquiry. We look forward to seeing you soon at one of our several conferences held around the world each year!
