About the Summer School
The IZA Summer School in Labor Economics was created in 1998, as an annual event taking place at the conference center of Deutsche Post DHL at the Ammersee lake (near Munich) in Bavaria, Germany. After pausing for two years because of the pandemic, we are excited to resume this event in 2022 (in accordance with the applicable COVID-19 regulations).

The objective of the Summer School is to bring together PhD students and senior lecturers to study topics in labor economics. Students have the opportunity to present their work and discuss ideas with established researchers in a relaxed and open atmosphere.

The Summer School is open to advanced graduate students from European universities, engaged in the preparation of a doctoral dissertation or approaching that stage. Due to the current restrictions, 15 students will be selected for this year’s event, based on their preparation to participate in the advanced study of labor economics.

Funding
Accommodation and travel costs will be covered by IZA conditional on attending the entire event.

Kindly note that tax regulations prohibit IZA from fully reimbursing the travel expenses of summer school participants who combine their trip with other destinations or extend their travel by more than 1 day.
