The World Congress is designed to provide extensive discussion of new and innovative research in economic history, with an expected 80-90 papers to be selected for presentation and discussion.  Those wishing to present a paper should provide an abstract and a 3-5 page summary of the proposed paper. Submissions will be accepted only in electronic form. Papers can be submitted here:     http://eh.net/cliometrics-conference-proposal-submission/
