Papers and presentations
Papers should be submitted no later than May 22, 2023. The papers will then be made available via a private link sent by e-mail to all participants. Each paper presentation is given 40 minutes, of which 30 minutes is the presentation and the rest is comments and questions (during the talk). There are no pre-designated discussants; everyone will be free to comment on each paper. Please bring your presentations on a USB stick or downloadable from your cloud service.
Traveling to and from Stockholm
The main airport is Stockholm-Arlanda (ARN), to which many airlines fly, not least Scandinavian Airlines. Book an economy-class ticket with arrival on Wednesday, June 7, so you will make it to the opening dinner at 19:00. To make it, you should probably not land at the airport later than 16:30.
As for the return flight, the conference will end around 14:00 on Friday, June 9, which means that flights should probably not depart earlier than 17:30. If you choose to stay in Stockholm, you can book your return flight anytime on Saturday, June 10, or Sunday, June 11 (we pay for one or two hotel nights in Stockholm). To go to Arlanda airport from Stockholm, we recommend Arlanda Express, the high-speed airport train. Make sure to buy the ticket before boarding the train (online, in their app or in a ticket machine). We recommend you to be at Arlanda airport at least two hours prior to departure.
As soon as your flight has been booked, please send us the itinerary so that we can confirm hotel reservations.
Transportation to Vaxholm
From Stockholm-Arlanda (ARN), you have to take a taxi to Vaxholm and the conference venue Waxholms Hotell, address Hamngatan 2, Vaxholm, phone +46 8 541 301 50. The drive takes 45–60 minutes, and the taxi fare is about 750–950 SEK. You can pay with a card if you prefer. We strongly recommend using one of the three largest companies, Taxi Stockholm, Taxi Kurir, or Taxi 020, because of problems with rogue taxi drivers. These reliable taxi companies are in a designated taxi lane as you exit from the terminal. If you fly to any other airport, let us know, and we can advise you.
At the hotel(s)
Check-in and check-out: You have access to your room from 15:00 on Wednesday, June 7, until 11:00 on the day of departure, Friday, June 9. You are welcome to leave your luggage at the reception if needed.
For those who stay in Stockholm until Saturday or Sunday, accommodation will be arranged at the Mornington Hotel.
Travel expenses and accommodation
IFN will reimburse travel expenses (economy class) against original receipts after the conference and pay for accommodation and meals during the conference. The accommodation concerns invited participants and their accompanying persons (see below). IFN will take care of the room reservations in Vaxholm (June 7 - 9) and Stockholm (for one or two nights) for those who wish to stay over the weekend. For the reimbursement of travel expenses, please send your original receipts and your bank details (name, address, Routing/SWIFT/BIC code, and IBAN) after returning from the conference to:
Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN)
Attn. Elisabeth Gustafsson
P.O. Box 55665
SE-102 15 Stockholm
Sweden
If you only have digital receipts (not scanned original receipts) you can email them to elisabeth.gustafsson@ifn.se.
Please ensure the reimbursement claim reaches us by June 30 at the latest.
Partner
If you wish, your partner can come along (but not attend the lunches, the coffee breaks or the conference sessions; and, alas, we do not welcome children to any event of the conference). We pay for the hotel (including breakfast) and conference dinners at Vaxholm and for the hotel in Stockholm if you choose to remain after the conference until Saturday or Sunday. Travel expenses, lunch expenses in Vaxholm, and all expenses in Stockholm, except for the hotel, must be covered by you. Please let us know if you will be accompanied by your partner as soon as possible.
