The main purpose of the Ulvön Conference on Environmental Economics is to provide a forum for the dissemination of high-quality research in environmental economics. Initiated in 1993, and the idea is to allow PhD students to present their work and interact with several leading researchers in the field. The conference is held at Ulvön (the Wolf Island) a small, attractive old fishing hamlet located along the high coast, about 500 km north of Stockholm.
The conference is usually held during the Swedish midsummer week Tuesday to Thursday and registration comes out in February/March each year. Information about upcoming conferences shows up on the front page with registration. If you want to have a look at some photos from previous conferences – visit the CERE Facebook page.
