Renowned for his contributions to social preferences, especially the Fehr-Schmidt model of inequality aversion, he has also played a pivotal role in advancing neuroeconomics. On May 23, 2025, Professor Fehr will be awarded the Allais Memorial Prize for Behavioral Sciences and deliver a keynote lecture.

We can issue an invitation letter only after your paper is accepted for presentation and payment is received. Please note, we do not provide invitation letters for guest attendees. If your visa is denied, we will issue a full refund.

Prague is in the Central European Time Zone (CET), UTC+1 in standard time and UTC+2 during daylight saving time.

Once your paper is accepted for presentation, we will send you a proforma invoice with the details you provided during submission. A final invoice will be issued after we receive your payment.

Behind the Conference

The Prague Conference on Behavioral Sciences began in 2017 as a collaborative project between the Center for Behavioral Experiments (CEBEX) and CEVRO Institute College, with Vojtěch Zíka playing a key role in establishing the event and securing a partnership with Fondation Maurice Allais to award the Allais Memorial Prize in Behavioral Sciences to the keynote speaker. After its third edition, the conference paused during the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021, when CEBEX also suspended its experimental laboratory. In 2022, the conference resumed as an independent project, with the University of New York in Prague joining as a new academic partner.
