Call for Abstracts
We welcome participants from the UK, Europe and further afield, and from a wide range of disciplines and methodological traditions. Papers from early career researchers are particularly encouraged and will be included in the main conference stream. A small number of travel and accommodation bursaries is
available for early career scholars.

- Inclusive growth: theories and concepts
- Measurement of inclusive growth, at city, neighbourhood and project level
- Labour market trends and inclusive growth
- Building Inclusive Economies (e.g. community wealth building, municipal companies, building the social economy, procurement, anchors)
