FDPE organizes research seminars aimed at doctoral students. The main purpose of these seminars is to offer the doctoral students opportunities to present their research and research proposals and to get prepared comments from a Finnish expert on the research field. Senior researchers can also participate in the seminars.

A foreign visitor is usually invited to the workshops of the research groups, to present her/his own research and to comment on the work of doctoral students. Each seminar group organizes 1-2 workshops each year, lasting for 1-2 days. FDPE is able to reimburse Finnish doctoral students of economics presenting a paper at a workshop for their travel and accommodation costs. Please contact the offices of FDPE in advance.

It is the policy of FDPE that each full-time doctoral economics student from the 2nd year onwards registers for one FDPE seminar group in the FDPE registration form and participates in the activities of that seminar group with or without a paper. The FDPE policy is also to monitor participation and to send reminders to those students who are registered members of a seminar group but have not registered for a particular workshop.

It is possible and indeed we invite students to participate in more than one seminar groups’ activities. As this is on top of what are the FDPE requirements, we do not monitor participation in more than one seminar group’s activities.
