Call for Applications
The Winter School on Applied Economics for Sustainable Development (WiSED) is an initiative jointly organized by Tuscia University (UNITUS), the Faculty of Higher Studies Acatlán of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM FES-A), and the Latin American Institute (LAI) of the Freie Universität. This effort is generously supported by the academic journals Review of Keynesian Economics (ROKE) and PSL Quarterly Review.
WiSED aims to promote critical reflection on sustainable economic development with a North-South perspective, with particular attention to Latin America, connecting regional schools of thought with applied quantitative methods. Distinguished speakers will provide critical analyses—grounded in their respective intellectual traditions—on the barriers and opportunities faced by developing economies in the context of the green and energy transition.
The program will be conducted in English and is aimed exclusively at graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scholars in Europe and Latin America whose research or academic focus relates to development studies, environmental economics, or the energy transition.
