The Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at the University of Amsterdam, in cooperation with the Groupe d'Analyse et de Théorie Economique (GATE) at the Saint-Etienne School of Economics, hosted the 3rd Amsterdam/Saint-Etienne Workshop on Social Choice on 3-4 April 2025 at Science Park in Amsterdam.
We were discussing questions of social choice in all of its many facets, including in particular the perspectives provided by computer science, economics, and political science. Previous editions were held in Amsterdam in 2023 and Saint-Etienne in 2024.
Registration is free of charge but required for everyone who wants to participate (also for locals, including students, who are very welcome). Please complete this registration form no later than 14 March 2025.
The programme will include invited talks by Efthymios Athanasiou (Athens), Markus Brill (Warwick), Caterina Calsamiglia (Barcelona), Oihane Gallo (Barcelona), Ronald de Haan (Amsterdam), Guido Schäfer (Amsterdam), Maija Setälä (Turku), Karine Van Der Straeten (Toulouse), Markus Utke (Eindhoven), and Adam Zylbersztejn (Lyon/Saint-Etienne). The full programme is available on a separate page.
Anyone working on topics related to social choice is cordially invited to participate in the workshop's open poster session. We specifically welcome submissions discussing work in progress, but you are equally welcome to present a poster you are also presenting at another conference.
If you would like to present a poster, please register no later than 14 February 2025 and include a short description of your poster when you do. We aim at informing you within about one week of your submission whether we will be able to accommodate your poster.
We are able to offer travel grants (up to € 300 per person) to a small number of participants. You are eligible for such a grant if you have been accepted for a poster presentation and if your home institutions does not provide adequate funding for attending events such as this.
To apply for a travel grant, please register by 31 January 2025. If you are a PhD student, we also require an email from your PhD supervisor by the same deadline, in which they confirm both their support for your attendance and their inability to fully fund your trip. We will inform you no later than 7 February 2025 whether we will be able to award a travel grant to you.
The workshop will take place at the SustainaLab in the MatrixOne building at Science Park 301 in Amsterdam.
Science Park has its own train station (Amsterdam Science Park) and is also served by bus line 40, going back and forth between Amstel Station and Muiderpoort Station. If you take a hotel in the city centre, then renting a bike is probably your best option.
