International Conference on Commodity Markets(ICCM)

12 January 2016- 13 January 2016

Abu Dhabi, UAE

Welcome to ICCM

The International Conference on Commodity Markets aims to assess and communicate the latest work of economists in energy and commodity markets. Beyond the high interest for academics, the conference also aims to share the fruits of this work with industry professionals, from both energy and finance related companies. Meetings between academic and businessmen are particularly beneficial to the margin of the working sessions. Furthermore, a communication to the public is done through a panel discussion and the presence of media, as was done during the 2014 edition Governed by a Board of Top Executives, Association Leaders, Business Press, and Business Academics Facilitated by Leading Business Publishers and Marketers.

Conference Profile

The International Conference on Commodity Markets (ICCM) will take place on 12th – 13th January, 2016 in Abu Dhabi. The event is jointly organised by ESCP Europe Business School, the Research Centre for Energy Management (RCEM), the Paris School of Business, and under the patronage of Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange with the support of Natural Gas Europe.

Energy issues are more and more impacted by changes in commodities markets. Commodities markets have recently experienced huge price volatility, which implies new challenges for practitioners and policy makers. This phenomenon could reflect:  i) changes in traditional factors (supply, demand, and market structures); ii) a liquidity effect; and iii) an increased role of complex financial products. 

In this context, the objective of the Conference is to address new analysis for commodities markets, policies and supervision. 

This international conference will bring together world-class experts from academic, professionals and institutional backgrounds. Participants will present their visions and strategies in the presence of regional media. Theoretical, empirical and policy-oriented contributions from researchers and practitioners of energy issues are welcome.

An exclusive conference dinner will be held at a prestigious location providing excellent networking opportunities for attendees. More details will be announced in due course.
