INFORUM World Conference 2026

We are pleased to announce the Inforum World Conference 2026, which will be held from May 6th to 9th, 2026 at the University of Florence's Campus of Social Sciences, located in the historic city of Florence, Italy. Florence offers excellent accessibility via several nearby airports, as well as convenient connections by train or automobile.

The conference will focus on the INFORUM modeling approach and its wide range of applications. We invite contributions in the form of presentations that explore advancements, applications, and developments of Inforum models, as well as broader empirical input-output and economic policy studies. Papers from Inforum modeling teams are especially welcome, but the conference is open to all interested researchers and practitioners.

In addition to the core program, participants are invited to join joint activities in Florence on Saturday, May 9th, organized by the Italian Inforum team.

This event is hosted by the Inforum groups of the USA, Italy, and Germany. Conference facilities are kindly arranged by the Italian Inforum team at the University of Florence.
