We are excited to announce that the Berlin Applied Micro Lunch seminar series which is jointly organized by the Berlin Network for Labor Market Research (BeNA) and the research group “Transformations in the Labor Market” will continue next semester. We invite you to sign up to present your work!
work!
The seminar will take place every Monday from 1:00 to 1:45 pm starting on October 12th, 2026, right before BAMS, at DIW Berlin. A light lunch will be provided.
We aim to create an informal, constructive space for feedback and exchange for researchers in and around Berlin working on topics in applied microeconomics to present their work. The idea is especially to provide a format to receive feedback for early-stage work and research ideas. In particular, we encourage young researchers and all members of the research group to present their work.
How to participate
Please sign up to present by September 30th here.
Slots are allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you plan to present, we kindly ask that you attend other sessions as well to support your peers. See below for the presentation guideline.
