We are pleased to announce the 10th anniversary "International Young Scholar German Socio-Economic Panel Symposium".
The symposium provides an opportunity for doctoral students and young postdoctoral researchers of all disciplines (e.g. economics, demography, psychology, sociology, public health, geography) to present empirical research in progress - carried out with panel data (especially SOEP data). Each accepted paper will be discussed by a leading senior researcher. This gives you the unique opportunity to receive thorough and individual feedback on your research project.
Moreover, we will award the Joachim-Frick Memorial Prize for the most innovative, best written and best presented symposium paper. The award comes with € 200 prize money.
