The Conference’s theme, "It’s the End of Economics (as We Know It)", invites us to reflect on the evolving status of economics from a historical perspective, and to explore the transformation of the discipline in light of past and present challenges.
The conference takes place at the Campus Luigi Einaudi (Lungo Dora Siena 100A, 10153 Torino), an architectural landmark designed by Norman Foster, and recognized by CNN as one of the 10 most spectacular university buildings in the world. The campus is home to the Scuola di Scienze giuridiche, politiche ed economico-sociali of the Università di Torino.

- Ilene Grabel (University of Denver, Josef Korbel School of International Studies), keynote address
- Glory Liu (SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University), Blanqui Lecture
