Following upon the first six 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 beautiful Sky-lounge of the University of Vienna’s Faculty of Business,
Economics and Statistics, overlooking the city centre.
To be considered for inclusion on the programme, papers must be submitted in PDF format to Mrs. Birgit
Buschbom (buschbom@wiiw.ac.at) by Tuesday, April 2nd 2024. Authors chosen to present papers at the
conference will be notified in early April.
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 Graf Hardegg’sche Stiftung, FIW, University of Vienna, wiiw, and the UKRI’s Economic and Social Research Council.
