Submission: Please submit your paper or extended abstract through the online submission form at https://editorialexpress.com/conference/emuea2025/

We accept the submission of extended abstracts, but all else equal we prefer completed papers. We prefer papers that have not been presented at a previous European meeting of the UEA.

Beyond submitting an individual paper, you can propose a complete session of 3 or 4 papers. Papers in complete sessions will still be vetted individually, and the scientific committee reserves the right to regroup papers with other sessions. We encourage including in proposed sessions submissions by researchers whose primary affiliation is in an allied field (e.g. labor, public, trade, development, etc.) but whose paper has clear and strong relevance to urban economists. To submit a session, please first submit each paper through the Conference Maker website and then send the proposed session, including names and paper titles to emuea2025@urbaneconomics.org.

Submission Deadline: Friday, December 13, 2024. You will be notified in mid-January whether your submission has been accepted for the conference.

UEA Student Prize: The UEA awards prizes for the best student papers presented at its conferences. Papers presented by full-time PhD students at the time of the conference are eligible for the student prize. Coauthors must also be full-time students, excluding any co-authors who are pre-docs or whose sole role is to facilitate access to data. Please email the chair of the student prize committee Jorge De la Roca (USC), if your paper is eligible and you do NOT want to be considered for the student prize. Student papers and presentations will be evaluated by the student prize committee and the results will be announced at the conference.
