Philippe Martin prize for best student poster at the CEPR Paris Symposium

In 2023 CEPR named the inaugural best student poster prize in memory of Philippe Martin, our then Vice-President for Europe. Philippe cared deeply about education, and about encouraging young people to study economics. To continue his legacy, CEPR awarded the 2024 prize to Charlotte de Cannière (KU Leuven), who presented the poster “Pump it? Market Power and the Energy Transition in the Global Oil Market” at the symposium during the climate days.

In 2023 CEPR named the inaugural best student poster prize in memory of Philippe Martin, our then Vice-President for Europe. Philippe was a true CEPR hero: not only was he enormously influential in facilitating CEPR’s move to Paris, he was also a Research Fellow in CEPR’s International Macroeconomics and Finance, International Trade and Regional Economics, and Macroeconomics and Growth programmes, and a member of four Research and Policy Networks, which gives an indication of the depth and breadth of his research. His death was a huge loss to CEPR, to academic economics and to economic policymaking more widely, and a deep personal loss to all who knew him. The first day of the 2024 Paris Symposium, organised and hosted by Sciences Po, was dedicated to Philippe Martin and a tribute was published and printed for the occasion.

Philippe cared deeply about education, and about encouraging young people to study economics. To continue his legacy, the Philippe Martin prize for best student poster at the CEPR Paris Symposium, together with a €2000 prize, was decided by popular vote during CEPR’s flagship Symposium in December 2024. We are delighted to announce that the 2024 winner is Charlotte de Cannière (KU Leuven), who presented the poster “Pump it? Market Power and the Energy Transition in the Global Oil Market” at the symposium during the climate days. The PhD student posters were selected via a competitive call for papers and CEPR’s programme directors selected 29 posters for presentation out of 220 submissions.

Charlotte’s paper explores the interaction between market power and the energy transition in the global upstream oil industry. You can view her poster and full paper on CEPR’s symposium webpage (link to be included) together with the other posters that were presented throughout the symposium. We would like to thank all those PhD students who participated for their contributions and wish everyone success in their future careers.
