16th Workshop on Alternative Economic Policy in Europe
University of Crete, from 24-26 September 2010, organised by the EuroMemorandum Group
Dear Colleagues,
The financial crisis and subsequent recession have sharply exacerbated divergences and tensions in the Euro area and in the EU as a whole. The Greek economy is in deep crisis and several other European states face similar pressures. The policies of the EU and the stronger members states are reinforcing a polarisation that threatens to release strong disintegrative tendencies in the Union.
These issues will be at the forefront of this year’s EuroMemo conference to be held in Crete from 24-26 September. We would like to invite you to attend the conference and to submit proposals for papers for one of the four workshops. Proposals for papers are particularly encouraged from people who have not contributed papers to the conference in previous years.
Papers should aim to address the key themes of the workshop which are shown in the draft programme attached as pdf-file. Proposals for papers together with a short abstract (maximum 500 words) should be submitted by 30 June. Completed papers should be submitted by 1 September.
If you would like to participate in the workshop, please copy the registration form below into an email and reply by the 30 June 2010 indicating:- that you would like to participate and - whether you wish to offer a paper for one of the workshops.
The University of Crete is about five kilometres from the city of Rethymno Information sheets with details about travel arrangements and hotel bookings are attached. Rethymno is roughly equidistant from the airports at Chania and Heraklion. A contingent of rooms has been reserved at two hotels in Rethymno. Please use the attached form to make your own bookings.

We look forward to seeing you in Crete,
best wishes,
for the EuroMemorandum Group
