For the fifth time, the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS) of the University of Bremen and the Jacobs University and the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), in collaboration with the Hanse Institute for Advanced Study (HWK), are pleased to announce the “International Young Scholar German Socio-Economic Panel Symposium”.

The symposium provides an opportunity for doctoral students of all disciplines (e.g. economics, demography, psychology, sociology) and at any stage of their doctoral thesis, to present empirical research in progress – carried out with panel data (especially SOEP data) – and to discuss theoretical, conceptual and empirical issues with senior researchers. We encourage interested young scholars to submit abstracts.

We will inform you whether your proposal has been accepted before January 15, 2009. The deadline for submission of the full paper (ca. 5.000 words) will be February 28, 2009.
