EH.N: CfP: Future Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) Meeting

[Jacob Weisdorf]

Call for papers: Future Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) Meeting

Event: 2nd FRESH meeting and Marie Curie RTN UEE Workshop

Theme: Any subject

Date: April 17 2007

Venue: Department of History and Civilization, Villa Schifanoia, 
Florence, Italy

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. before it 
becomes published as a working paper or the like, and certainly 
before it is published in journals or books. The main aim of the 
meetings is to gather researchers in a friendly and non-imposing 
environment where they can present their research and receive 
constructive criticism from their peers.

The FRESH meeting organisers strive to accommodate as many speakers 
as possible. Accepted papers will normally 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. In the event of space constraints, please note that 
FRESH members and members of the Marie Curie Research Training 
Network 'Unifying the European Experience' will be chosen over 
non-members. Furthermore, presenters who did not participate in the 
previous meeting will be given preference over those who did.

The organizers offer meals (lunch and dinner) to presenters, but 
travel and accommodation must be covered by presenters themselves. 
Non-presenters are asked to pay a registration fee of 100 euros. The 
cost of accommodation is about 60 euros per night for a single room 
(breakfast included).

Prospective speakers should submit a one-page abstract and a short CV 
to Jacob Weisdorf (e-mail: jacob.weisdorf at econ.ku.dk) no later than 
December 15 2007. Notification of acceptance will be given by January 
2008.

The 2nd FRESH meeting is organized by Giovanni Federico (local 
organizer), Paul Sharp <http://www.keynes.dk/fresh/contact.htm> and 
Jacob Weisdorf <http://www.keynes.dk/fresh/contact.htm> . The meeting 
is sponsored by the Marie Curie Research Training Network,  "Unifying 
the European Experience."
