Location: FU Berlin
The one-day workshop provides young economists the chance to present and discuss their research. It provides a forum to meet and exchange with fellow doctoral students, post-docs and professors from the field of labor and education economics. The workshop is targeted at PhD students and aims to facilitate exchange between junior and senior academics. This year, we are happy to announce that Silke Anger (Institute for Employment Research (IAB)) and Kristof de Witte (KU Leuven) will be our excellent guest speakers at the workshop.
We are looking forward to submissions from PhD students working on topics in labor and education economics from a theoretical, empirical or experimental perspective. Equally, we encourage the submission of work at an early stage. All projects presented at the BeNA workshop will be considered for the BeNA Innovative Research Award in the amount of €200.
The workshop will take place in the friendly atmosphere of the FU Berlin on November 27, 2026.
We are happy to announce that this year’s Winter Workshop will also be supported by the DFG Research Unit Labor Market Transformation.
If you want to present your work, please submit an abstract or a draft of your paper by October 1, 2026, to workshop@labor-research.net. The decision on your submission will be communicated by October 15, 2026.
