SBCA European Conference

The SBCA European Conference aims to advance the use of benefit-cost analysis (BCA) across scientific discourses as a tool for informed policy and investment decisions. It promotes methodological excellence, interdisciplinary collaboration, and practical relevance in evaluating projects, programs, and regulations. By fostering dialogue across academic disciplines and policy domains, the conference supports the broader goal of enhancing societal well-being through more effective public choices.
