After the great success of the first edition, Universidad Carlos III, DIW Berlin, Florence School of Regulation (EUI), Technical University Berlin, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, University College London and Université Libre de Bruxelles are happy to announce the second edition of the PhD Summer School on “Economic Foundations for Energy and Climate Policies”.

The PhD Summer School will be held on September 6-10, 2021 at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Downtown campus) The plan is to organise the school on-site but a mixed format could eventually be considered in case the situation does not improve as expected.

The main objective of the School is to provide PhD students in Economics with high-level academic training on the micro-economic foundations of energy and climate policies.
