INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 
under the auspices of the Association Charles Gide 
FRIDAY-SATURDAY, 6 -7 november, 1998,  STRASBOURG, FRANCE  
NICHOLAS GEORGESCU-ROEGEN's Scientific WORK 
 
 
The purpose of this conference is to pay tribute to one of the great 
economists of the XXth century. Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen passed away on 
October 30th, 1994 at the age of 88. He began his teaching carrier as 
Professor in Bucharest, then taught for a short time at Harvard and was 
finally appointed Professor at Vanderbilt University until his retirement 
in 1976. Granted Doctor "Honoris Causa" of Louis Pasteur University of 
Strasbourg in 1976, he was Visiting Professor at this University during 
the academic years 1976-1977 and 1977-1978. His intellectual trajectory 
led him from Statistics to Mathematical Economics and to Epistemology. 
Although his first contributions had addressed pure consumer theory, 
production theory and activity analysis, he progressively engaged in a 
criticism of the traditional view of the production process, which led him 
to develop a new theoretical approach. The conference aims at a reflection 
both on the content of his thought and on the impact of his work on 
contemporary economics. 
 
Proposals should cover in particular the following topics : 
1.      Epistemology/Methodology 
2.      Environment/Energy/ Development 
3.      Utility and Uncertainty 
4.      Production and Growth Models
