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.
