The CES Critical Economics Summer School
The Centre for Social Studies, Associate Laboratory of the University of Coimbra, is launching The CES Critical Economics Summer School to bring together in annual meetings economists and other students of social sciences to discuss topics of common interest.
This series of summer schools aims at promoting a venue for critical research on the economy and in economics. The school is primarily intended for advanced graduate and post-doctoral researchers as well as young scholars. Young researchers will then have the opportunity to attend lectures and discuss their work with distinguished scholars in the selected fields of research.
The course will take the form of morning lectures where the guest speakers are invited to give two lectures. In the afternoons young researchers present their work to be discussed by all participants.
