It would be greatly appreciated if you could circulate with relevant networks! Call for Papers: Early Career Economics Seminar Series (ECESS) In January 2026, we (Heriot-Watt PhD students) will launch a new biweekly seminar series. The goal of this series is to create a low-stakes and accessible space for researchers to present their work, network with peers, and reconnect with alumni. We want this to be a space where you can test ideas and get in a first run-through in public as well as encouraging more socialising, to this end we are imposing two policies: 1. Clarifications only: We will only permit interruptions to clear up details, otherwise allowing space for presenters to tell their story before discussion 2. Sociability: We will aim for Monday afternoons, with the specific intention of heading to Geordies for a drink and a chat immediately afterwards We specifically encourage applications from * Current PhD students (at any stage) * Recent alumni and Industry Post-PhDs * Early Career Researchers * Visiting peers from other universities (especially fellow SGPE institutions) We are accepting submissions for two distinct formats: 1. Short Form * Time: 15–20 minutes (plus longer discussion/Q&A) * Purpose: Early-stage ideas, research proposals, or getting feedback on a specific puzzle you are trying to solve 2. Long Form * Time: 45–60 minutes (plus 15 mins Q&A) * Purpose: Ideal for polishing a completed paper, practicing a job talk, or presenting a full chapter How to Apply We are currently filling slots for the coming second semester (starting Jan 5th). If you are interested in presenting, please reply to gjm2004(a)hw.ac.uk<mailto:gjm2004@hw.ac.uk> with: 1. Your preferred format (Short or Long) 2. A rough title or topic (abstract even better) 3. Your preferred dates (Mondays) in January/February/March Best regards, Heriot-Watt ECESS Organisers ________________________________ Founded in 1821, Heriot-Watt is a leader in ideas and solutions.
