Although
the Conference is open to submissions in all areas of evolutionary
economics, we would like to encourage submissions in six priority areas:

paper submissions for these sessions. Of course, there is no guarantee
that such papers will be automatically accepted since all submissions
have to go through a formal review process.

All
extended abstracts and finalized papers must be submitted online
