Description

The Economic Development Working Group of the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) is pleased to announce a call for applications to the YSI Pre-Conference Workshop in collaboration with the Association for Heterodox Economics (AHE).
The workshop will take place at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, on June 30, 2026, before the annual AHE Conference (July 1–3, 2026).

This mentorship workshop is designed for early-career scholars. The event is carefully structured to foster deep, constructive engagement: participation will be limited to 10 selected scholars and 3-4 senior mentors (to be announced), ensuring substantial face-to-face time, detailed feedback, and sustained discussion of each participant’s methodological challenges and publishing plans.

Given the workshop’s focus on mentorship and feedback, participants will be asked to submit a working paper or extended draft ahead of the workshop by mid-May. Drafts should include enough developed material for mentors (to be announced) to engage meaningfully with your ideas, methods, and future plans (publication, etc.).

The workshop will take place at the University of Coimbra on the day preceding the annual Association for Heterodox Economics Conference, allowing participants to build on the mentorship experience as they transition into the broader conference discussions. This event continues the annual collaboration between YSI and AHE, with the aim of providing a supportive, intellectually rigorous space for developing methodological clarity, confidence in publishing, and scholarly community.

Selected participants will receive fee waivers for the main conference, as well as a
