The International Network for Economic Method (INEM), in collaboration with TINT – Centre for Philosophy of Social Science, University of Helsinki, is delighted to announce that its 14th Biannual Conference will take place in Helsinki, 19–21 August, 2019.
We welcome proposals for contributed papers and symposia in all areas of the philosophy and methodology of economics. We particularly encourage submissions that combine philosophy and methodology of economics with other perspectives on studying economics offered, for instance, by history and sociology of economics, ethics, political philosophy, as well as by feminist approaches and social ontology.

YSI pre-conference workshop
As has become tradition, the YSI Philosophy of Economics working group is organising a pre-conference workshop. This time the workshop is "Women in Economics: Past and Present". The workshop is meant to offer an opportunity to take some stock on the progress made so far by women in economics and to address the challenges that still lie ahead. Prof. Diana Strassmann (Rice), founder editor of the journal Feminist Economics has confirmed her participation. As usual, some travel grants are available for young scholars who want to participate in the workshop and conference. Interested scholars should submit their application to the conference website as stated above and send an email to philecon@youngscholarsinitiative.org indicating that you want to be considered for the grant.
Any questions regarding the workshop and other YSI affairs should be submitted to philecon@youngscholarsinitiative.org
Deadlines
The deadline for both abstract and symposium proposals submissions is 17 February, 2019. Acceptance will be communicated by the end of March, 2019.
