About the Colloquium

The Econophysics Colloquium is an annual meeting for researchers who study economic, financial and social systems with the methods of statistical physics, complex systems and data science. Since its first edition in Canberra in 2005, it has brought together physicists, economists, mathematicians, computer scientists and practitioners from finance and industry to compare results, exchange methods and debate different views on shared problems.

For its 23rd edition the Colloquium comes to Kraków as a workshop of the International Conference on Computational Science. Computation now sits at the heart of the field, from agent-based simulation and network reconstruction to the analysis of high-frequency, alternative and climate data with machine learning. The ICCS 2027 theme, Natural Intelligence meets Artificial Intelligence for Scientific Computing, is a natural meeting point for that work.

We particularly encourage PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and other early-career scientists to take part.

Call for papers

We invite original contributions on the physics-inspired, data-driven and computational study of economic, financial and social systems. Theoretical, empirical and methodological work are equally welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Statistical physics of economic and financial systems
  • Stylised facts, heavy tails, scaling and multiscaling
  • Market microstructure, order books and price impact
  • Volatility modelling, rough volatility and financial risk
  • Agent-based models: theory, calibration and large-scale simulation
  • Economic and financial networks, contagion and systemic risk
  • Correlation structure, filtered graphs and high-dimensional data
  • Economic complexity, production networks and supply chains
  • Wealth and income distributions and inequality
  • Climate finance, sustainability and the green transition
  • Machine learning, AI and language models in economics and finance
  • Crises, extreme events and early-warning signals
  • Cryptocurrencies, fintech and digital markets
  • Social and behavioural dynamics, opinions and information spreading

Submission types

TypeLengthPublished in LNCS
Full paper12–15 pagesYes
Short paper6–8 pagesYes
Abstract2 pagesNo, included in the programme only

Page limits include references and appendices. The abstract option suits work intended for a journal, or authors who cannot publish proceedings papers but still want to present and discuss their research.

Talks and posters

Accepted contributions are presented as talks or posters. We are planning a dedicated poster session so that PhD students and early-career researchers have more room to present their work and discuss it with the community.

How to submit

  1. Prepare your manuscript in English using the Springer LNCS template, also available on Overleaf.
  2. Submit it through the ICCS 2027 EasyChair page and choose the Econophysics Colloquium workshop as your track.
  3. Make the computational contribution explicit. ICCS screens every submission, workshops included, for its relevance to computational science, and papers outside that scope are desk-rejected.

Review is single-blind, so author names and affiliations stay on the paper. Submission implies that at least one author will register and present. Deadlines follow the ICCS 2027 important dates, and full author instructions are in the ICCS 2027 call for papers.

Publication

Accepted full and short papers appear in the ICCS 2027 workshop proceedings, published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science and indexed in the major services. After the conference, the best ICCS papers are invited to a special issue of the Journal of Computational Science.
