Fostering the next generation of researchers is a cornerstone of IZA's mission. The IZA Summer School provides an unparalleled opportunity for PhD students to gain insights from leading international researchers on cutting-edge advancements in their fields. It's a vibrant platform for discussing research, interacting with faculty, and building relationships with fellow students.

In celebration of its 25th anniversary in 2024, the IZA Summer School will embark on a new chapter. The program will now alternate its main focus between labor economics and behavioral economics each year.
