CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED TALKS

From 12 – 14 September 2012, we organize the

Latsis Symposium 2012

Economics on the Move:

Trends and Challenges from the Natural Sciences

as a high-level conference to be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.

More information can be be found at: http://web.sg.ethz.ch/Latsis_2012/

The day preceding the Latsis Symposium, TUE 11 September 2012, is

reserved for a SATELLITE WORKSHOP that addresses in three parallel

tracks the relation between economics and other quantitative sciences

from different viewpoints.

We invite contributed talks (30 min) to these parallel tracks:

1. Modeling financial systems

Track Chair: Stefano Battiston

Keynote Speaker: Rosario Mantegna (Palermo)

2. Agent-based Models in Economics

Track Chair: Giorgio Fagiolo

Keynote Speaker: Giovanni Dosi (Pisa)

3. Econophysics Colloquium

Track Chair: Tobias Preis

Keynote Speaker: Jean-Philipp Bouchaud (Paris)

To submit a contributed talk, please register at:

http://web.sg.ethz.ch/Latsis_2012/

The following scientific communities have granted their patronage to

the satellite workshop, which merges the

APFA – Applications of Physics in Financial Analysis

WEHIA – Workshop on Economic Heterogeneous Interacting Agents

Econophysics Colloquium

We particularly invite contributions from members of these

communities which allows us to organize a joint conference.

There is a registration fee of CHF 80 for the Satellite workshop, to

be paid by every participant via paypal. This covers the service

during the lunch and coffee breaks.

Participants, who have registered for the Satellite Workshop, can

attend the Latsis Symposium free of charge, without additional

registration.

There is a very limited possibility for 3-6 contributed talks (30 min)

on each day of the Latsis Symposium. Contributed talks will be

selected by the organizers from all submissions to the Satellite

Workshop, on a competitive basis. As a reward for being selected, we

offer a grant of CHF 500 to support travel and lodging.

On behalf of the organizers of the Latsis Symposium (which include

Ernst Fehr and Didier Sornette) and the Satellite Workshop (which

include Stefano Battiston, Giorgio Fagiolo and Tobias Preis) I remain

with best regards,
