YSI @ STOREP 2025

The States and Markets, Urban and Regional Economics, Political Economy of Europe, and Keynesian Working Groups of the Young Scholars Initiative, in collaboration with the Italian Post-Keynesian Network (IPKN) are happy to announce a call for participation to the YSI Pre-conference@ STOREP 2025.

The pre-conference will take place at University of Molise (UNIMOL), Termoli Campus on June 11 and 12, right before the annual Italian Association for the History of Political Economy STOREP Conference (12-14 June 2025). The theme of the conference is “Economies and territories from the history of economics perspective”. We are inviting presentations of research which connect to this theme, or to one of the research-focuses of the YSI working groups hosting the pre-conference.

The pre-conference will feature three types of sessions:

1. Research presentations 
2. A research poster session
3. Mini-workshops and discussions with invited senior scholars

All applicants must submit an abstract in English (300 words maximum) and a very short motivation statement (100 words maximum).

The submission deadline for the pre-conference is (EXTENDED) April 1. Apply here.

Travel stipends of 150 euro and shared accommodation are available for selected participants. STOREP is a regional event, and as such the pre-conference will prioritize the participation of young scholars coming from Italy or Europe. Accommodation will be for both the pre-conference and the following STOREP conference in Termoli. We expect participants receiving accommodation to attend the STOREP conference. Information about registering for STOREP is available here.

Young Scholars are highly encouraged to also apply to present in the STOREP conference, especially if their work relates to the history of economic thought, history of economic methodology, or the conference topic of “territories”. March 17 is also the deadline to send an abstract for the main STOREP conference. 

Apply for the pre-conference until March 17 here!

• YSI pre-conference abstract submission by April 1 (Extended)
