 Call for Papers Closed

The Irish Society of New Economists (ISNE) closed the call for papers for its fifth annual conference on Monday 30th June 2008. We are pleased to report that there was a very strong response and we are looking forward to an interesting conference. The conference will be held at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) on Friday 3rd October 2008.

About ISNE

The conference is intended to provide a forum for new economists (in post-graduate research programs or private/public sectors) to present papers from any area of economics. This forum is intended for anybody in the early stages of research - eligibility to present has nothing to do with age. We strongly encourage those working on economics-based research in all settings to present.

Any interested parties that do not have a paper to present, but would like to attend the conference, are very welcome at the event. There are no conference fees to either attend or present at the conference.
