The European Economic Theory Conference is a collaborative initiative launched by several prominent European economics departments. As a rotating event, it will take place each year at a different institution, providing a dynamic setting for academic exchange and fostering the European theory community. In the year of 2026, the second edition will take place September 18-19, 2026, in London, hosted by the London School of Economics and by the University College London.
The conference will feature single-track presentations with no parallel sessions. Presentations will take place at the LSE.
