The Social Sciences Area of the Gran Sasso Science Institute in L’Aquila (GSSI) will host an Early Career Workshop on the Environment, Climate Change and Disasters - Socio-economic Impacts and Adaptation on June 5-6 in L'Aquila, Italy.
The workshop provides a precious opportunity to young scholars to facilitate the dissemination and exchange of cutting-edge scientific research on different topics of applied environmental economics involving various socio-economic dimensions such as for firms, the labor market, as well as the health and development of human capital. In addition to serving as a platform for scientific dissemination, the workshop aims to enhance the connections between European and non-European universities, as well as between universities and private research institutions.
The event brings together a small number of young researchers and doctoral students, giving them the opportunity to present their preliminary work to a highly selected and internationally diverse audience. It will feature the participation of three distinguished scholars who will deliver keynote lectures and a selected scientific committee that will attend the workshop, providing valuable advice.
Submissions of either full papers or extended abstracts should be sent via email at eccd@gssi.it. The application deadline is set for April 15th.
Papers using applied micro methods will have priority. To encourage diversity and inclusion, applications from female, female-identified, or non-binary presenting authors are particularly welcome. All selected contributions will be presented in plenary sessions to maximize participant involvement and interaction.
Notification of acceptance will be sent by May 13th.
Participation
The expected number of participants ranges from a minimum of 8 to a maximum of 10 speakers.
Selected speakers are offered up to 2 nights of accommodation and meals, including the social dinner. Financial support is gratefully acknowledged from the GSSI, FEEM and University of Urbino.
