EWMES 2026

European Winter Meeting of the Econometric SocietyEWMES 2026

December 2–4, 2026 · Warsaw, Poland

Hosted by the University of Warsaw

Registration opens October 5, 2026

Welcome

Too often, great events like EWMES bypass Central and Eastern Europe altogether. Bringing EWMES to Poland is more than a change of scenery – it is a step toward improving the environment for economic research in our country.

Yes, it is December, and yes, the weather will likely be… character-building. But what we lack in sunshine, we make up for in festive charm. Bring a coat, and we’ll bring the brilliance – and let the ideas glow, even if the skies don’t.

Warsaw is the capital of Poland – a metropolitan area of nearly 3 million people, with clubs, restaurants, and more than 300 thousand students. Frequently likened to a phoenix, it has risen from the ashes of complete oblivion during World War II; its entirely reconstructed Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The venue is based in the city centre, within walking distance of the Old Town and equidistant to the Central Train Station.
