Regular sessions will be introduced by two opening lectures held by our keynote speakers: Michèle Belot (Director of BLUE, the Behavioural Laboratory at the University of Edinburgh) and David Levine (European University Institute and Washington University in St. Louis).
The organization will sponsor the social dinner for the participants and accommodation for the speakers. No fee is required, but all participants are warmly requested to attend all sessions.
