Submissions are invited on themes such as the integration of the single market, challenges and opportunities in goods, services, labour and capital, cross-border spillovers in innovation and investment, and links between industrial policy and the single market. The call also welcomes papers on sectors including energy, telecommunications, defence, and TCLF (Textiles, Clothing, Leather and Footwear) among others.
The deadline for submitting proposals is 31 October 2025. The conference will feature keynote speeches (e.g. by Cristina Caffarra) and bring together prominent researchers to present findings and provide policy insights.
