09/05/2016 - 1st Athens meeting of Behavioral and Experimental Economics and Social Sciences

We would like to invite you to present your ongoing or published work at the 1st Athens meeting of Behavioral Economics and Experimental Social Sciences (ABEESS), which will take place on the 9th of May 2016 at the Department of Economics of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

The 9th of May is a very important date for the Department since it marks the official inauguration of our Experimental Laboratory in Social Sciences, situated in the heart of the historical center of Athens. The Laboratory's main aim is to revive academic debate, suggest
conclusive research methodologies and host interdisciplinary experiments in Social Sciences for international research institutions and universities.

The event is intended to bring together
- a steadily growing community of experimentally minded social scientists who work across Greek academic institutions and
- behavioral and experimental scientists from abroad, who want to create ties in Athens and to contribute to the development of Behavioral and Experimental Social Sciences back in the city where it all began.
Given the current economic crisis, the Department’s resources are almost minimal.

Therefore, apart from a traditional Greek feast under our bright and warm Athenian sunshine, we cannot yet offer the attendees a lot more than a firm promise that we will be giving them top priority whenever they run an experiment in our Laboratory.

The day will include several 30 minute presentations (15-20 mins for each talk, followed by 10- 15 mins for questions) in the morning and early afternoon.

During the evening, the event will be complemented by structured debates, a roundtable and a networking event that will immediately engage attendees in the Athenian local atmosphere.

The deadline for submitting an abstract (up to 200 words) is the 5th of April and notifications of acceptance will be sent out on the 8th of April.

For abstract submission and any other inquiries, please contact fivos.savva@gmail.com.
