Easter Training School

Our intention is that the conference will be a face-to-face conference within any government guidelines in place at the time of the event. However, if guidance means that a face-to-face event is not viable, the RES is developing contingency plans which will be communicated at the earliest opportunity.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide further guidance as information becomes available. 

The RES Easter School is intended for advanced postgraduate students doing doctoral research, (but younger lecturers and postdoctoral researchers are also welcome) and economists in research and policymaking institutions, who have approximately three to five years experience since initial graduation.

It enables study and discussion with an internationally recognised expert in the topic over the three days of the course. 

Participants from academic departments do not pay a fee for attendance, but non-university applicants each pay £1000. Accommodation and meals will be provided for the duration of the course, however travel expenses must be covered by the applicant or their university.

Applications are now open - the closing date for applications has been extended to Monday 27 January. Successful applicants will be informed in February 2020.

University participants: Individuals must be nominated by the Heads of University Departments (or their Directors of Graduate Study). They can do this by writing to the email address below detailing their support. 

Non-university participants: Individuals can apply directly to the school and an invoice will be raised accordingly. Note that payment for the school must be received prior to school to secure the place.
