ZBW’s mission is to acquire, index and archive theoretical and practical literature in economics and business studies and to provide sustainable and permanent access to this collection.

ZBW builds an extensive partnership network and regularly organize mini conferences on- and offline workshops for the partners.

Their activities also include promoting economics-related events and conferences, exploring the work of authors in the field of economics, building an economics thesaurus, supporting open science, research data management, building an economics repository (EconStor) etc.
