Erasmus Institute for Philosophy and Economics (EIPE)
EIPE, founded 20 years ago, is one the world's leading research institutes in philosophy and economics and host to a highly acclaimed graduate programme.

Special Track Happiness and Wellbeing
We especially encourage submissions related to happiness and wellbeing, for inclusion in interdisciplinary parallel sessions surrounding these themes. These will take place on March 22, 2017 and are organised in relation to the Erasmus Happiness Week and the 'Good Economy'.

Erasmus Happiness Week and the 'Good Economy'
The EIPE 20th anniversary conference is embedded in the 'Erasmus Happiness Week'.

On March 22, 2017, the two conferences will overlap under the theme 'The Good Economy', and feature several happiness speakers, the keynote talk by Erik Angner, and interdisciplinary parallel sessions on the theme of 'Happiness and Wellbeing'.
