This year the conference will run, from September 9-11, with the University of Lausanne hosting the conference.
Around 400 participants are expected to attend, with 300 papers being presented. A highlight of this year's conference will be a reception at the headquarters of the World Trade Organisation, where Director General Pascal Lamy is scheduled to address the group.
