A Microsymposium on Econophysics
as part of the 14th Annual International Conference on Physics
20-24 July 2026, Athens Greece
The Economics Unit & the Natural Sciences Unit of the Athens Institute are organizing a Microsymposium on Econophysics as part of the 14th Annual International Conference on Physics, 20-24 July 2026, Athens Greece sponsored by the Athens Journal of Business & Economics & the Athens Journal of Sciences.
This microsymposium aims to foster interdisciplinary research that applies methods from statistical physics, complex systems, network theory, and nonlinear dynamics to understand financial markets, economic networks, and socio-economic phenomena.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Modeling financial markets with physics-inspired approaches,
Network analysis of economic and social systems, Agent-based and computational modeling of economic behavior, Statistical mechanics applications in wealth distribution and market dynamics, Nonlinear dynamics and emergent phenomena in economics, and other related topics
You may participate as a presenter of one paper and/or as attendee.
Please submit an abstract (by email only) to: atiner@atiner.gr, using the abstract submission form by 31 March 2026 to: Dr. Gregory T. Papanikos, President, Athens Institute or Dr. Haiduke Sarafian, Head, Natural Sciences Unit, Athens Institute & Professor of Physics and Endowed Chair of John T. and Paige S. Smith Professor of Science, Pennsylvania State University, USA. Abstracts should include the following details: Title of Paper, Full Name (s), Affiliation, Current Position, an email address, and at least 3 keywords that best describe the subject of your submission. Decisions are reached within 4 weeks.
Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/fees.
Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized which give a great opportunity to further discuss the issues presented at the conference. From Athens Institute’s long experience these events bring together scholars from different countries and disciplines which may result to research collaborations and joint publications. These events include a pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine-tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycenae and island of Poros visit, an Athens educational walking tour, a day trip to Delphi, and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit. Details of the social program are available here.
