Training and Support for Younger Members Easter & Autumn Schools The Royal Economic Society has granted funds to the University of Birmingham to provide an Easter School for twenty years. These schools are intended primarily for advanced postgraduate students doing doctoral research but are also open to members of the teaching and research staff. The purpose is to enable participants to become acquainted with the latest developments in the selected fields of economics, to have the opportunity for study and discussion with two internationally renowned experts in the topics covered, and to meet other young researchers. Nominations are made through the applicant’s Head of Department and should be supported by a short CV, a reference, and a note on the applicant’s research interests. The RES is delighted that RES financial support combined with success in obtaining funding from the ESRC’s Researcher Development Initiative, will enable the University of Birmingham to now run two schools in 2010, 2011 and 2012. One school will be devoted to some aspect(s) of macroeconomics, and the other to subjects of a microeconomic character. The 20th RES Easter School will be held on 18 and 22 April 2010. The instructors are Professor Nobuhiro Kiyotaki of Princeton, and Professor Stephen Morris, also of Princeton The first RES Autumn School will start on Monday September 20, and conclude on the late afternoon of Thursday September 23.
