Dear IO Community,

We would like to invite you to participate in the Call for Paper for next year's I-O Workshop. The workshop will be held from March 9-11, 2022.

The format is still uncertain at this stage. We favor a face-to-face event in Osnabrück, possibly supplemented by a hybrid format. However, a purely online event cannot be ruled out entirely at the moment. We ask for your understanding that we cannot commit ourselves here yet. 

Attached to the email is the Call for Paper in English and German. All further information can be found there.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Best regards.

Anke Mönnig

On behalf of the entire organization team

Dear Colleagues,

I hope this message finds you well.

I would like to signal a research internship opportunity for graduate students at the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities.

We are looking to recruit several interns to work on a range of ongoing projects that require good analytical, analysis and writing skills. We offer a dynamic and stimulating environment and hands-on experience in policy analysis and empirical research in an intergovernmental organisation.

The internship can be virtual or in-person (depending on the sanitary situation and other circumstances); in the latter case, interns can be onboarded in Paris or in Trento, Italy. The start date is negotiable – we prefer selected candidates to join us in early 2022 but other timing can be agreed upon on a case-by-case basis. The duration of the internship is 3 to 6 months (the latter is preferred) with a possibility of extension up to 12 months. The OECD does not pay a salary but offers a contribution to living expenses slightly over EUR700 for each month of work.

More details and how to apply are here.

The deadline is 17 October 2021.

Please forward to anybody you feel would be a good candidate or to your networks to spread the word.

Thank you lots for your help.

With kind regards,

Alexandra
