We particularly encourage interdisciplinary research and research on populations relatively neglected by existing literature.
About eleven papers will be selected for presentation. A session of 50 minutes will be devoted to each paper, in which the presenter will have five minutes to make an opening statement. The rest of the time is devoted to questions and discussion of the paper among conference participants. All participants will be required to read all papers in advance and to attend the entire conference. At least one author of a paper must be a member of the Cliometrics Society.
