The Paris-Saclay Summer School in Economics is an annual initiative of the Centre for Economics at Paris-Saclay (CEPS), designed to bring together students and researchers around emerging areas of economic research.
The 2027 edition focuses on Sustainable Development & Inequalities, bringing together frontier research on their economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Over six days, participants will explore recent research and methodological advances through six advanced courses taught by leading scholars, complemented by two keynote lectures.
The Summer School welcomes PhD students and advanced Master's students in economics and related disciplines, from Paris-Saclay, other French universities, and institutions abroad. By bringing participants and faculty together for an intensive week outside the regular academic semester, the program aims not only to provide access to research at the frontier of the field, but also to foster sustained intellectual exchange across institutions and disciplines.
