EAMSA holds an annual conference and general meeting, consecutively in Asia and Europe, and normally in October-November.
For a quarter of a century the annual conference has been central to EAMSA as a research and scholarly community. It allows members to network with colleagues, develop research collaboration, exchange information and views, and present, disseminate and test ideas. When feasible, it is also a venue to interface with the non-academic community, including business, government, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international organisations, allowing EAMSA to participate in policy space and help set the agenda on Euro-Asian issues.
