Virtual meeting, 17 April, 2026

The European Historical Economics Society and the editors of the European Review of Economic History would like to invite submissions to the Eleventh EREH Fast Track meeting, to be held virtually on April 17, 2026. Previous Fast Track meetings were held in Paris, Lisbon, Berlin, and London, and recently online. Those meetings resulted in the publication of several high-quality papers in the European Review of Economic History. The idea of the meeting is to provide feedback and coaching to junior scholars (those no more than five years from completion of their PhD) working in any field of economic history and to give them a chance to see their articles quickly appear in print.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

If you wish to participate, please send an extended abstract or, preferably, a draft paper (.pdf) along with the title and author(s) to Steven Nafziger (co-editor of the European Review of Economic History) at snafzige@williams.edu no later than March 1, 2026.

PAPER EVALUATION

The most promising proposals/papers will be selected for the Fast Track meeting by the Review’s editors by March 20, with full drafts of the selected papers due by April 6. The meeting will take place online on April 17. The presentations will be attended by the editors and, potentially, a group of external referees. The objective of this meeting is to improve the quality of the submissions and to streamline the process of refereeing. We are committed to ensuring that this panel is inclusive and representative of the broad economic history community.

Authors will be invited to edit their papers in response to the online feedback before formally submitting to the Review by May 15. The editors commit to returning editorial decisions and referee reports to the authors in a timely fashion and by no later than July 1, 2025.

Any questions may be directed to Steven Nafziger at snafzige@williams.edu
