Hi everyone,

As you know the RES and SES conference are jointly held at Glasgow this year a part of the Tercentenary celebrations of Adam Smith's Birth. Please see below for the call for committee members for the Junior Researcher Symposium.

As part of the RES roadshow there is always a junior scholar conference organised by PhD students local to the host insitution. Glasgow this year have expressed a desire to get PhD students from SGPE affiliated institutions to help the committee organise the conference. This needless to say is a unique experience. I have friends who organised the junior symposia in 2017 and 2018 when Sussex hosted RES. Though challenging it was a very rewarding experience. Needless to say this stuff is like gold dust for CVs for those PhDs looking to stay in Academia, as it represents a commitment to scientific endeavours.

I urge interested people to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Hector

Dear Heads of Economics and SGPE directors

It was great to meet with many of you at Crieff Hydro last week and thanks for the opportunity for me to introduce the forthcoming Royal Economic Society (RES) PhD Symposium on the 9^th June 2023 in Glasgow.

This one-day conference is supposed to be organized by PhD students and for PhD students. Its objectives are to bring together students to foster discussion and dissemination of research in all areas of economics. In the past, the scale is about 70-120 students from all UK Universities.

In terms of the organization, we have appointed two student leads from Glasgow, but would like to call for interests from your departments if there are any 3^rd or 4^th year PhD students who would like to join the committee to help with paper selection and other aspects of the conference. We hope that this will be a rewarding experience for these students and strengthen their CV for their job market competition.

To complement the expertise of existing committee members, we particularly welcome applicants in the fields of finance and econometrics (either applied or theory), as well as Applied Micro and Macro.

Can you please kindly forward this information to the relevant students and for anyone who is interested in, please fill in this form (https://forms.office.com/e/bgr45v2G2K) and send a copy of most recent CV to the academic lead Dr Anthoulla Phella (anthoulla.phella@glasgow.ac.uk) and use ‘RES Junior Symposium-SGEP’ as the email subject by 27 Jan?

I will forward the call for papers link in the beginning of February and please encourage your PhD students to join this exciting event and present their work at the Symposium.

Many thanks.

Best wishes.
