EAERE 18th Annual Conference: Call for papers

CALL FOR PAPERS

You are invited to submit theoretical and applied papers in all areas of environmental and natural resource economics for presentation at the EAERE's annual conference to be held in Rome, Italy June 29 – July 2, 2011. All papers will undergo the regular peer review process regardless of the session in which they will be presented. Papers can only be submitted electronically through the conference website at www.eaere2011.org from November 15, 2010, onwards. Deadline for submission of papers is February 1, 2011. Notification of acceptance will be sent by April 18, 2011.

The Conference will be organized, as usual, through plenary sessions, parallel contributed and poster sessions and special sessions.

The conference programme will cover all areas of environmental and resource economics, ranging from topics prevailing in the general debate, such as climate change, Kyoto protocol, energy policy, ETS, green accounting, valuation methods to less publicized and very specialized subjects such as biodiversity loss, waste accumulation, toxic waste disposal, packaging reduction, adaptation to climate change, urban and transportation sustainability.

A pre-conference on Waste is also planned, together with a joint session with ICABR (International Consortium on Agricultural Biotechnology Research).

As it emerges, the conference promises to offer plenty of food for thought indeed!

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
The conference will be held in Tor Vergata’s University campus, which is located in the outskirts of Rome and is as modern and as organized as any other well-functioning campus of the world, and will unfold according to the pattern of past conferences. But when we come to social events, the power and spell of history will dominate them as they will take place in the most fascinating scenarios of this unique city. We want to give you that enjoyment and perception of human culture that only Rome, with its vast combination of ‘open’ and conventional museums, can provide!
