The Symposium brings together early career economists (Phd students, Postodoc, etc.) to foster discussion and dissemination of research in all areas of industrial economics. A number of external academics will join our internal faculty members, acting as discussants and providing high quality feedback. The Symposium is then followed by the Network of Industrial Economists (NIE) Conference Network of Industrial Economists (NIE) Conference, taking place on Friday 8^th July 2022 at Loughborough University.

The extended abstract submitted for the symposium can refer to a finished paper, a thesis chapter, or a working draft. Papers must be submitted by 10^th June 2022 15th June 2022 (23:59, GMT). If available, a paper draft may be required before the conference. Submission of a final draft of the paper is not a compulsory request to present an ongoing piece of work.

Financial assistance for presenters will be available to contribute towards travel and accommodation (if required). Both events have NO registration fees, and lunch and refreshments will be provided to all participants, for both events. Participants are also encouraged to attend the NIE conference the following day.
