Call for papersGeneva Frontier Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) Meeting Topic: Political Economy and Economic HistoryDate: 23-24 June 2016Hosting Institution: Paul Bairoch Institute of Economic History, University of GenevaKeynote Speaker: Prof. Pedro Lains (University of Lisbon)Local Organizers: Edoardo C. Altamura, Cédric Chambru, Pilar Nogues-MarcoFRESH Organizers: Rowena Gray, Paul Sharp and Martin Uebele&#160;On June 23-24, 2016, the Paul Bairoch Institute of Economic History will host a Frontier Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) meeting. FRESH meetings are aimed at researchers in any field of economic and social history. The meetings build on the concept that scholars present their ongoing research at an early stage, i.e. normally before it becomes published as a working paper or the like, and certainly before it is published in books or journals. The main aim of the meetings is to gather researchers in a friendly and collegial environment where they can present their research and receive constructive criticism from their peers.The broad theme of the meeting is “Political Economy and Economic History”.LogisticsThe FRESH meeting organizers strive to accommodate as many speakers as possible. Accepted papers will receive 30 minutes each (20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion). However, in the interest of avoiding parallel sessions, the presentation time may be shortened.There will be a registration fee of €70 (€20 for graduate students) for this meeting but some financial support will be available for travel and accommodation of presenters thanks to the generosity of the University of Geneva and EHES, which will be allocated to graduate student presenters as a priority.Prospective speakers should submit a one-page abstract and a short CV via the following link by February 21st 2016:http://www.sdu.dk/en/Om_SDU/Institutter_centre/Ivoe_virksomhedsledelse_og_oekonomi/Forskning/EconomicDevelopment/fresh/Meetings/SubmissionGenevaNotification of acceptance will be given by March 7th 2016.&#160;For more information about the Geneva FRESH meetings:https://sites.google.com/site/freshgeneva2016/homeFor more information about FRESH meetings, please visit the FRESH website at: http://www.sdu.dk/en/ivoe/fresh.Would you like to organize a FRESH meeting?FRESH meetings have no permanent venue but take place at any institution around the world where there is an interest in having the FRESH meeting.
