History of AICAR
At the forthcoming fifth conference, Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi Indonesia (STEI) / Indonesia College of Economics transforms International Conference on Business, Economics and Social Sciences (ICBESS) to Indonesia International Conference on Social Sciences (IICOS). With this transformation, the conference will give researchers more opportunities to discuss with other researchers in the same field from around the world. This will enable participating researchers to produce more quality research.
