Following upon the first seven editions of WIEN, the University of Vienna will again host a two-day meeting that will draw together researchers interested in international economics, global value chains and economic geography.
The workshop will take place in the University of Vienna’s beautiful historical main building.
To be considered for inclusion on the programme, papers must be submitted in PDF format to Mrs. Jelena Milosevic (milosevic@wiiw.ac.at) by Saturday, March 1st, 2025. Authors chosen to present papers at the conference will be notified in March.
The organisers are particularly keen on receiving submissions from young scholars, including Ph.D. students and researchers who have just completed their Ph.Ds. With that in mind, we would appreciate it if you could circulate this Call for Papers among your junior colleagues, former students and current Ph.D. students. As in past editions, we will actively seek diversity in the set of selected speakers.
Participants will be provided with accommodation in central Vienna, and airfares for speakers will also be reimbursed subject to certain budget guidelines. The conference is generously supported by the Heinrich Graph Hardegg’sche Stiftung, FIW [1], University of Vienna, wiiw, and the ERC/UKRI under Horizon Europe Guarantee.
