The ninth CEPR Annual Meeting of the International Macroeconomics Programme (IMF) will take place on 16-17 October, 2025 at the University of Lausanne (Lausanne, Switzerland).

The meeting is expected to start in the afternoon on Thursday 16 and end around late afternoon on Friday 17 October. There will be a conference dinner on Thursday evening. 

We welcome submissions in all areas of international finance and open economy macroeconomics. We plan to hold the workshop in-person and participants are expected to be present for the whole duration of the conference.
 
Funding:
The sponsoring institutions can cover accommodation and travel according to the CEPR guidelines for presenters and discussants.

However, funding is limited, and we would like to facilitate the participation of young researchers. We thus encourage more senior participants to use their own grants to cover costs. Please indicate in your reply whether you will be able to cover your own costs or require funding to attend.

Organising Committee:
Philippe Bacchetta (University of Lausanne and CEPR)
Kenza Benhima (University of Lausanne and CEPR)
Gianluca Benigno (University of Lausanne and CEPR)
Alberto Martin (CREI, BSE and CEPR)
