The International Conference on Economic Modeling and Data Science will take place in Luxembourg, on July 8–10, 2026. The event will be hosted by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (STATEC) on the premises of the University of Luxembourg in Esch/Belval.

Conference Theme

This year’s conference will be held under the theme “Data Science for Economics” and will run back-to-back with the European Association for Data Science Summer School. EcoMod2026 will provide a unique forum for exchanging ideas, methodologies, and empirical insights among academics, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in quantitative analysis for policy formulation and decision-making.

The conference is supported by several key national institutions that produce knowledge and data for policy: STATEC Research, the General Inspectorate of Social Security (IGSS), and the Luxembourg Inland Revenue (ACD). Colleagues who are unable to travel to Luxembourg will be able to present their papers virtually. EcoMod2026 welcomes submissions in all areas of economic modeling and data science.

We invite you to submit abstracts, full papers, or session proposals no later than January 31, 2026, via the Conference Maker platform: https://editorialexpress.com/conference/ecomod2026/

Proposals for special sessions may be submitted directly by email to ecomod2026@statec.etat.lu or to the conference co-chairs.
