The 15th International German Socio-Economic Panel User Conference (SOEP2024) will be held in Berlin from July 4 to July 5, 2024 at DIW Berlin.
The conference provides researchers who use the SOEP (including the SOEP part of the Cross-National Equivalent File (CNEF) and LIS/LWS data) with the opportunity to present and discuss their work with their peers. Researchers of all disciplines (e.g., economics, demography, geography, political science, public health, psychology, and sociology) are invited to submit an abstract.
The theme of the conference and keynote speeches will be "the individual and collective responses to a changing world". We particularly welcome contributions examining the above topic. In addition, we encourage submissions beyond this thematic focus, particularly submissions using the longitudinal features of SOEP and papers on survey methodology and cross-national comparative analysis.
We are pleased to announce as keynote speakers:
Prof. Simon Jäger, Ph.D.
CEO of IZA + Associate Professor of Economics at MIT (Germany and USA)
Prof. Dr. Jutta Mata
University of Mannheim (Germany)
