12th Canadian PhD and Early Career Researcher Workshop

in Environmental and Resource Economics

Call for Participants

The Canadian Resource and Environmental Economics Association (CREEA) invites PhD students and early career researchers working on topics in resource and environmental economics to a workshop to be held in-person on May 31, 2026 in Vancouver, Canada. There is no fee to attend the CREEA Workshop. 

CREEA welcomes applications from those researching any aspect of environmental economics (environmental behavior, energy economics, climate change, green business or natural resource problems) using theory, empirics or experimental methods, and based in economics departments, business schools, schools of public policy, etc. In previous editions, the workshop has convened around 20 early-stage researchers from inside and outside Canada from institutions such as Yale, Queens, Amsterdam, UBC, Ottawa, Paris, Columbia, McGill, Berkeley, Alberta, Cornell, Oslo, Toronto, Vienna, Calgary, LSE.

Sessions are built around 30-minute presentations, giving participants the chance to expose their ideas and get feedback from junior colleagues and senior scholars. Social time will give an excellent opportunity for participants to network, exchange ideas and experiences and get to know each other. The atmosphere is informal and collegial.

The workshop includes keynotes from senior scholars. They will provide feedback on presentations and lead economics career workshops (tips on finding research topics, navigating the job market, getting papers published, managing the tenure process, etc.). This year the keynote is Erica Myers, Associate Professor and the Canada Research Chair in Environmental, Energy and Resource Economics, and Co-Editor at the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management.
