2026 European Meeting, UPF-Barcelona, 2-5 Sept 2026,

[NAGEL, ROSEMARIE CHARI]

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to announce that Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain, will host the 2026 European ESA Meeting from 2 to 5 September, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Economic Science Association. Submissions are now open! 

The conference will feature keynote talks, special sessions, parallel sessions, and faculty-PhD student meetings in the spirit of Reinhard Selten (1994 Nobel Laureate and founder of the first experimental lab in Europe), who noted: "I especially enjoy meeting young researchers because their minds are still open to being shaped (formbar) and they may bring unconventional and new perspectives."

Keynote Speakers: Antonio Cabrales, Axel Ockenfels, Marta Serra-Garcia, Elke Weber

Special Sessions:
Cognitive Economics, organized by Eric Johnson
Panel Discussion: 40 Years of ESA – A European Perspective

In addition, on September 2nd, a special workshop will be held in honor of Jordi Brandts.
