A warm welcome!

The German Journal of Agricultural Economics (GJAE) as a scientific journal of GEWISOLA

Since 1 January 2024, GEWISOLA has been the proud owner of the German Journal of Agricultural Economics (GJAE) thanks to the financial support of the OLECon project. With the acquisition, the GJAE will be developed as a pure open access journal according to the diamond model. It is therefore up to us to take this journal forward. The gateway for submissions of scientific articles is still the GJAE website, which is now operated under the direction of the Editorial Board and our society. Submissions of scientific articles are very welcome!


The 2025 annual conference of the GEWISOLA will be cancelled and instead become part of the 18th EAAE Congress ‘Food System Transformation in Challenging Times’. The EAAE Congress will take place in Bonn from 26 to 29 August 2025. The GEWISOLA will be represented there with an organised session. In addition, the general assembly will be held during the EAAE Congress. Further information about the congress and the call for papers can be found here.

The Annual Conference 2024 took place from 25 to 27 September 2024 in Gießen. The conference topic was: "Innovative concepts for a sustainable agricultural and food economy". Further information can be found here.

The proceedings of all annual conferences are available as pdf files under "Publication series".
