NIE Early Career Researchers' Symposium - 26 June 2025

Call for papers

We invite submissions of extended abstracts in theoretical and empirical industrial economics for the 2025 NIE ECR Symposium in Industrial Economics, to be held on Thursday 26th June 2025 at Nottingham University Business School.

The Symposium brings together early-career economists (PhD students and those who completed their PhD in the past 5 years) to foster discussion and dissemination of research in all areas of industrial economics and other related fields in a friendly environment. A number of external academics will join our internal faculty members, acting as discussants and providing high-quality feedback. The extended abstracts submitted for the symposium can be finished papers, thesis chapters, or working papers. Financial assistance towards UK travel and accommodation may be available for presenters.

The Symposium is generously sponsored by Charles River Associates, the global consulting firm whose representatives will attend the symposium and deliver a keynote presentation. They will award a prize for the best symposium paper
