At the end of 2025, KREA University hosted an online book launch for Annie Tubadji’s book Culture Based Development: Modelling Cultural Bias in Economic Choice. This event served as a follow‑up to the earlier CBD webinar dedicated to the special issue on CBD in the Regions of India, and also reaffirmed the ongoing call for submissions for the same special issue, which remains open in REGION, the Official Journal of ERSA.

The launch brought together an inspiring group of colleagues - economists and social linguists from KREA and several other universities across India. Their participation made the discussion particularly enriching, especially given the growing intersections between CBD research on artificial intelligence and social linguistics. This exchange represents an exciting step forward in expanding CBD collaborations within India’s academic landscape.

Special thanks to KREA University Library that has ordered the CULTURE BASED DEVELOPMENT book and made it available on the ground for its staff and students!
