The Berlin Applied Micro Lunch (BAML) seminar series—jointly organized by the Berlin Network for Labor Market Research (BeNA) and the research group “Transformations in the Labor Market”—starts next Monday, April 13, 2026.
The seminar aims to provide an informal and constructive space for feedback and exchange for researchers in and around Berlin working in applied microeconomics. We would be very happy to see many of you join and attend regularly.
The seminar takes place every Monday from 1:00 to 1:45 pm, right before BAMS, at DIW Berlin. A light lunch will be provided. Weekly updates on BAML presentations are shared via the BAMS newsletter, which you can subscribe to here.
