Students’ presentations will be organized in groups of three papers gathered according to the specific research fields explored, related to the history of economic thought, economic methodology, and economic philosophy.
These presentations (20 min. each) will take place in the presence of the members of the scientific committee and invited speakers and profit from their various expertise. Each presentation is commented on by a discussant, chosen among young scholars (5 min.), followed by a discussion with the floor (20 min.).
Tutorials with senior researchers (1 hour) help Ph.D. students prepare their research works for further diffusion and publication.
