The 2nd ECO-SOS Workshop on Economics and Sustainability 

provides an opportunity to all those interested in the interaction between sustainability and economic growth and, in general terms to address global challenges faced by our economies when designing growth strategies. In this sense we want to analyze environmental implications of economic activities, quantify its negative externalities and provide proposals to achieve more sustainable growth scenarios.

Researchers are encouraged to submit both empirical and theoretical papers that are broadly consistent with the ECO-SOS areas of interest. However, we welcome specially papers related to the following topics in addition to the main topic of Transport Challenges:

·Sustainability and environmental conflicts.

·Sustainability and territorial strategies.

·Sustainability and energy.

·Sustainability and firm dynamics.

·Sustainability and innovation.

·Sustainability and climate change.

The keynote speaker is Stefanie Peer, Head of the Research Institute for Spatial and Real Estate Economics at the Vienna University of Economics.

The workshop is open to both young and experienced researchers, Ph.D. students, post-doctoral researchers, and government and non-governmental institutions.
