We are writing to invite you to submit a paper or to express your interest in attending CEPR's 2018 European Research Workshop in International Trade (ERWIT) to be held in St. Gallen, 6-8 June 2018, in cooperation with the University of St. Gallen. Papers are invited on any trade-related issues.
ERWIT is an annual workshop that brings together international economists from across Europe and key researchers from outside the region. The workshop disseminates the findings of recent research on international trade, and presentations often involve exploratory rather than finished papers. It provides a unique opportunity to discuss trade-related research in a relaxed atmosphere.
The workshop will run for 3 days (from the morning of Wednesday 6 June until the early afternoon of Friday 8 June, with arrival on Tuesday 5 June). CEPR and the local organisers will offer some funding for travel and accommodation but at this stage cannot guarantee funding for all participants. If you have alternative research travel funding at your disposal, we encourage you to indicate your willingness to use this to attend the event on your reply form. This will help fund travel for participants who do not have other sources of funding, young researchers in particular. Where funding is provided for travel costs, this will be in accordance with the our CEPR Travel Guidelines.
Kindly note that it will not be possible to accept all applications to attend the event. At this stage, we would thus like you to simply confirm your interest in attending the meeting and indicate whether or not you wish to present a paper. When selecting papers, some preference will be given to researchers who have not presented at ERWIT recently, although we still encourage everyone to apply.
Authors who are CEPR members can upload their submission on http://dev3.cepr.org/accounts/login.asp?NewUrl=/accounts/config/accountconfig.asp. Authors who are not CEPR members can email their submission to Mandy Chan at [email protected]. Please indicate in your email whether you will be able to cover your own travel and accommodation costs, or whether you will require funding. The deadline for replies is 18:00 (GMT) on Friday 8 December 2017. You may also like to read our Guidelines on how to register online for CEPR Meetings.
