The conference was organized by the Kharkiv National University, the Ukrainian Memorial, Department of East European studies and other organizations. The conference was dedicated to the Ukrainian Economic Academy in Podebrady, one of the Ukrainian educational institutions that played an important role in the life of Ukrainian emigration in interwar Czechoslovakia and gathered around itself an exceptionally intense cultural and social life.

The conference provided 3 introductory lectures and 15 conference papers + 1 book presentation. These included both overview lectures mapping the establishment of the institution as well as papers dedicated to important personalities connected with the Academy.
