Registration is open for 48^th EFA Annual Meeting 2021

EFA 2021 is organized by Bocconi University and will be held online between August 25–27, 2021.  Elena Carletti is the Program Chair.  The EFA 2021 conference will follow a virtual format. We regret that we will not be able to see you in person at the Bocconi University, due to the still high uncertainty concerning the evolution of the pandemic and the need to decide in advance for organisational purposes, we had no other choice other than hosting the conference in a safe and accessible virtual environment.  

Registration is now open. Registration is required for all participants but there will be no registration fee.  Since EFA 2021 is a members’ only event, EFA membership is required to attend the conference.  Exceptionally, the membership fee will be €20 if you register only to attend the conference in 2021. Zoom links to the conference will only be accessible to registered members via the ConfTool platform.  More information concerning the program will be available soon.  efa2021.efa-meetings.org.
