The European Working Group on Humanitarian Operations (EURO HOpe) and the HUMLOG Institute at Hanken School of Economics are organizing the fifth EURO HOpe mini conference in Helsinki, Finland on the 24.-25. November 2021. This year the event will be in hybrid format.
Main theme 2021: Financial, Cash and Voucher Assistance in Humanitarian Supply Chains
Other topics including, but not limited to:
- Factors that influence modality selection
- Technology-based solutions for cash and voucher assistance
- Local procurement in humanitarian supply chains
- Market assessment and resilience of local supply chains and infrastructure
- The business models of preparedness and prevention for sustainable operations
We hope to be able to welcome researchers and practitioners to interesting presentations and discussion on how to improve humanitarian response in an increasingly complex and dynamic world.
We welcome researchers’ and practitioners’ submissions focusing on the technologies, or methods, models, simulations and tools that can be used to improve humanitarian response in an increasingly complex and dynamic world. Contributions on the broad topics of humanitarian supply chains including refugees, health, conflicts, natural disasters, preparedness as well as creative and critical reflections are welcome. We are especially looking for contributions that discuss cash, vouchers, financial assistance for beneficiaries, as well as work that compare different modalities (cash vs in-kind).
Submission Guidelines
Authors, who would like to present their work at the conference, are invited to submit a 250-word abstract for consideration by the scientific committee. This can include both completed work and ongoing research. Presentations of results from empirical work and “Insights from the Field” are especially welcome.

The conference will be held in hybrid format, so you can either join us online or in Helsinki at Hanken School of Economics, Finland.
