The 36th Annual Irish Economic Association Conference will be organised by the Economic and Social Research Institute and held in the Sheraton Hotel, Athlone on Thursday, May 4th and Friday, May 5th, 2023.

The IEA 2023 will have two presentation types: 1) Full paper presentation; and 2) Flash Talks.

Full conference presentations are 25 mins in length and require the submission of a full draft paper.

Flash Talks are a new initiative aimed at encouraging early stage researchers wishing to get exposure of their research to the wider economics community. This can be early work in progress. The talks will be 5/10 mins each with a maximum of 3 slides. Flash Talk submissions only require an extended abstract (2 pages approx).

The submissions deadline is 23:59 GMT on Friday 24 February 2023.   Submissions can be made via the conference website which is available at:
