ENEAR is the European Network for Experimental Accounting Research. ENEAR is a platform for accounting academics in Europe and the rest of the world who are interested and/or involved in research using experimental methods (e.g., lab experiments, vignette studies, field experiments).

Outside North America, very few academic accounting departments have a tradition of doing experimental research or training accounting PhD students in experimental methods. As a result, experimental accounting researchers tend to be relatively isolated at their institutions and are often autodidacts who have organized their own training by reading books or taking courses at psychology or economics departments.

ENEAR connects experimental accounting researchers in Europe and beyond and facilitates their interaction. Among other things, ENEAR organizes a biennial research conference, which incorporates a doctoral colloquium.

All ENEAR events are organized by a small group of volunteers who are supported by the ENEAR Coordinator and a scientific board that consists of experimental researchers from around the globe and representing different subdisciplines.
