The aim of the workshop is to bring together young researchers from different disciplines and provide them with an opportunity to discuss their papers and ongoing research.
The workshop will feature three Keynote Speeches by renowned scholars.
The conference will include presentations on the Economics of Innovation, Science, Complexity and Knowledge . We encourage participants to apply with works from a wide range of methods and subdisciplines, fitting into these topics.

FAQ
Only PhD Students can apply?
While PhD Students are the main target of the Workshop, also 1st-year Post-docs and last-year Master Students are welcome to apply.
If I don't have a full paper yet, can I apply anyway?
Each participant has to present something, because the spirit of the event is to create a community that shares ideas and research questions. While the deadline for extended abstracts is in early October, the deadline for the full paper will be in early December.
Can I attend the Workshop without presenting?
Unfortunately, we cannot welcome non-presenting participants. The workshop is meant for early-career researchers wanting to get valid feedback on their work in progress. Therefore, each participant is supposed to present.
Will you publish the final papers?
No, the final papers will be shared only with the senior discussant that is in charge of your session, in order to give you a proper feedback.
