FRESH meetings are aimed at researchers in any field of
economic and social history. The meetings build on the concept that scholars
present their ongoing research at an early stage, i.e. normally before it
becomes published as a working paper or the like, and certainly before it is
published in books or journals.
The main aim of the meetings is to gather
researchers in a friendly and non-imposing environment where they can present
their research and receive constructive criticism from their peers. The FRESHmeeting organizers strive to accommodate as many speakers as possible.
Accepted papers will normally receive 30 minutes each (20 minutes for
presentation and 10 minutes for discussion). However, in the interest of
avoiding parallel sessions, the presentation time may be shortened. In the
event of space constraints, please note that members of the hosting faculty
and geographically close institutions will be given preference.
The
organizers can offer lunch, dinner and other refreshments on the day of the
meeting, but hotels and travel must be covered by the participants
themselves. Also, there will be a registration fee for this meeting of 70€
payable on acceptance of your submission.
Prospective speakers should submit
a one-page abstract and a short CV to Svante Prado (email:
svante.prado econhist.gu.se) no later than 1 April 2011.
Notification of
acceptance will be given by mid April, 2011. The Gothenburg FRESH meeting is
organized by Svante Prado (local organizer) and Paul Sharp and Jacob
Weisdorf.

Would you
like to organize a FRESH meeting? FRESH meetings have no permanent venue but
take place at any institution around the world where there is an interest in
having the FRESH meeting. Hosting institutions will be asked to provide a
venue, including electronic equipment, and, if possible, lunch and dinner for
the meeting participants (usually 10-15 persons).
If you would like to
organize a FRESH meeting at your institution, please contact the meeting
organizers (contact details on the FRESH website: www.keynes.dk/FRESH).
