The ninth biennial Gretl Conference will be held in the Birmingham Business School at the University of Birmingham (UK), on 19-20 June 2025. 

We're pleased to announce that the keynote speaker will be Anindya Banerjee of the University of Birmingham.

Submissions should be sent by email to GC2025@gretlconference.org by March 15. These may take the form of draft papers or reasonably complete abstracts. Those submitting proposals will be notified of the decision made by the Scientific Committee by Monday, March 17.

Contributions may showcase advanced real-world Gretl applications, compare Gretl with other software, or highlight missing functionality implemented elsewhere. They could also explore innovative teaching methods using Gretl or suggest directions for its future development. Selected papers from the conference will be published in a special issue of Computational Statistics under the rubric 'Advanced Data Analysis with Gretl'.
