The ESRC has awarded the Royal Economic Society funding to deliver a training programme for doctoral candidates in economics, beginning in the new academic year 2024/25.
The Doctoral Training Programme builds on the work the RES already does to support PhD students. The delivery of the Doctoral Training Programme aligns with the RES’s strategic aims for 2024-2028 by developing the next generation of economists; bring together the community of economics doctoral candidates and that of academic and professional economists; and improving diversity and inclusion in the profession by developing the skills of research economists-in-training.
The Doctoral Training Programme includes expert workshops on skills necessary for economics doctoral students and masterclasses in important domains of research. The Programme will run throughout the academic year starting in October 2024. Workshops and masterclasses will be online and recordings will be shared on our website afterwards. Stay tuned for the announcement of the full programme in September!
Additionally the ESRC will continue to fund the long-established RES Easter Training School.
