The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the European Central Bank (ECB) are hosting their 2025 conference "WE_ARE_IN Macroeconomics and Finance".
The aim of the conference is to bring together women in economics who will present and discuss new research on macroeconomics and finance which is of particular interest to central banks. The conference will foster interactions between junior and senior economists across academia and policy institutions.
PhD student poster session
We invite submissions from PhD students in their last year of PhD, interested in engaging with the women in economics network, to present in a poster session. Students who plan to be on the market this coming fall are particularly encouraged to submit.
Policy panel
The programme will include a policy panel on "How to revive the European economy and unlock its potential?".
WE_ARE_IN stands for Women in Economics: Advancing Research in Economics Internationally. It complements the WE_ARE initiative, a CEPR seminar series in which junior women present their work and receive constructive feedback from their peers and from senior economists.
Venue
The conference is scheduled to take place in person in Frankfurt, Germany, provided there are no travel restrictions in place, and it is safe to travel.
How to apply
The deadline for replies was 6:00 PM BST on Monday 31 March 2025.
