We are pleased to announce the organization of the first conference on "Cliometrics and Complexity" on 9-10 June 2016, by the CAC team at the ENS de Lyon (France).The scope of the conference is to bring together scientists interested in the use of complexity methods to improve our analysis of economic systems, especially their history, with a special focus on long economic and financial time series. We aim to combine usual approaches from social sciences (e.g. econometrics, cliometrics, finance, history…) with tools borrowed from physics, mathematics or data and computational science. Several questions will be at the heart of the conference: Methodological issues, Epistemological issues, Challenges raised by these new approaches to economic, social and institutional systems…Among the Keynote speakers:Pr Steven Durlauf (Univ. of Maddison, USA)  / Field: Complexity economicsPr Geoffrey Hodgson (University of Hertfordshire, UK) / Field: Institutional economicsPr Michael Bordo (Rutgers Univ. and NBER, USA) / Field: Monetary and financial cliometricsPr Alan Kirman (Aix-Marseille School of Economics, France) / Field: Computational EconomicsJean-Philippe Bouchaud (Capital Fund Management) / Field: Statistical PhysicsNote the important dates:Deadline for submission: March 11, 2016Authors’ notification: April 8, 2016Deadline for Registration: May 14, 2016No registration fee.Please see more details in the accompanying CALL FOR ABSTRACT http://cac2016.sciencesconf.org  (with Online submission form)The organizers:for CAC: Antoine PARENT (Sciences Po Lyon), Catherine KYRTSOU (Univ. of Macedonia), Fredj JAWADI (Univ. of Evry)for IXXI: Pierre BORGNAT (CNRS, ENS de Lyon), Pablo JENSEN (CNRS, ENS de Lyon)----------------------Antoine PARENTProfessor of Economics, Sciences Po Lyon, LAET CNRS (UMR 5593)Director of the Team CAC (Cliometrics And Complexity)  - IXXI Complex Systems Institute.Webpage: http://www.laet.science/PARENT-Antoine-----------------------
