Fifth World Congress of Cliometrics
July 8-11
Venice International University
Venice, Italy
The Fifth World Congress of Cliometrics will be held July 8-11, 2004,
at Venice International University, Venice, Italy. A call for papers
will be issued later this year. The Program Committee will put
together an international program from the proposals sent by
applicants to the conference. The program will be posted on the
Cliometric Society web site early in 2004.
The Conference will be held on the island of San Servolo, Venice, in
the premises of Venice International University (VIU). The latter is
a joint venture of six universities (Autonoma de Barcelona, Duke, LMU
Munich, Tel Aviv, Waseda (Tokyo), Venice Architecture, and Venice
Ca'Foscari) with the Province of Venice and the Fondazione Cassa di
Risparmio di Venezia. The island, only seven minutes by boat from St.
Mark's Square, consists of 11 acres of park, a beautifully restored
16th-century Benedictine convent and various residences. Please visit
the VIU web site http://www.viu.unive.it for additional information
and pictures.
All members of sponsoring organizations will be invited to attend.
Registration will be open but conducted in advance through the office
of the Conference Secretary (see below). As with the Annual
Cliometrics Conference and the previous World Congresses, papers will
be published in the Congress Book, and participants will receive
their copies of the Congress Book in advance. Also, sessions will be
held in the traditional Cliometrics Conference format: Instead of
formal presentations, authors will provide a brief introduction to
their work, followed by an extended period of discussion involving
all session participants. Thus, participants will be expected to read
the papers prior to the Congress.Ý
* Participants will be expected to pay for their own expenses to the
conference and for the registration fee. We will offer travel and
lodging grants for graduate students and some international scholars
from lesser-developed countries that otherwise cannot afford to
attend.Ý
* Room and board at the Conference site will be included in a package
deal; however, the Conference site has a limited number of rooms
available. The committee will give preference to authors of the
papers selected for presentation. Depending on the number of
registrants and the availability of rooms, some registrants may have
to make their own reservations in Venice.
* Complete information about registration and lodging and the
Congress Registration Form will be announced on the Cliometric
Society web site in the near future. Applicants will be encouraged to
use the form on the Cliometric Society web site, but will be able to
submit the required information via e-mail, fax or post to the
address below. Applications for travel grants will be considered as
part of the application process for the conference.Ý
* The sponsoring organizations include the Cliometric Society, the
European Historical Economics Society, the Economic History Society
of Australia and New Zealand, and the Canadian Network for Economic
History. The organizing and program committees consist of Lee Craig,
Price Fishback, Albrecht Ritschl, and Gianni Toniolo.
