European Research Workshop in International Trade (ERWIT) 2025

We are writing to invite you to submit a paper or to express your interest in attending CEPR's European Research Workshop in International Trade (ERWIT) 2025, to be held in Oxford from 4 to 6 June 2025, organised in cooperation with the University of Oxford. We invite papers on topics related to international trade, foreign direct investment, migration, automation, and other issues related to globalisation.

ERWIT is an annual workshop that brings together international economists from across Europe and key researchers from outside the region. The workshop disseminates the findings of recent research on international trade, and presentations often involve exploratory rather than finished papers. It provides a unique opportunity to discuss trade-related research in a relaxed atmosphere. 

The workshop will run for 3 days (from the morning of Wednesday 4 June 2025  until the early afternoon of Friday 6 June 2025, with arrival on Tuesday 3 June 2025). CEPR and the local organisers will offer some funding for travel and accommodation, but we cannot guarantee funding for all participants. If you have alternative research travel funding at your disposal, we encourage you to indicate this on your reply form. This will help fund travel for participants who do not have other sources of funding, young researchers in particular. Where funding is provided for travel costs, this will be in accordance with the CEPR Travel Guidelines. We recommend that you hold off making any travel arrangements until further information has been given to you. 

Kindly note that it will not be possible to accept all applications to attend the event. At this stage, we would thus like you to simply confirm your interest in attending the meeting and indicate whether or not you wish to present a paper. When selecting papers, some preference will be given to researchers who have not presented at ERWIT recently, although we still encourage everyone to apply.
