The Bureau for Research and Economic Analysis of Development (BREAD), the National University of Singapore, Asian Development Bank, University of Tokyo, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, University of Hong Kong and NYU Abu Dhabi are pleased to announce a joint Conference on Development Economics which will take place on Thursday, December 19 and Friday, December 20, 2024, in Singapore. The conference will consist of presentations of advanced stage research by senior or junior researchers, and presentations of early stage research by junior researchers.
A special feature of the conference will be the option of mentoring for junior researchers based in Asia in the months before the conference by BREAD fellows and affiliates.
- Senior/junior researchers are invited to submit a full paper.
- Junior researchers (PhD students or max. 5 years past PhD) based at
universities/institutions in Asia are invited to
- opt in for the mentoring part of the conference. In that case, one may submit an extended abstract, research design or PAP instead of a full paper, which would be the starting basis of the mentorship if accepted to the conference.
- opt out of the mentoring part of the conference and submit a full paper.
- Call for BREAD mentors: We invite interested BREAD fellows or affiliates to sign up as mentors. Please email [email protected] if you are interested.
- Accepted juniors will be individually matched with registered BREAD mentors for one-to-one mentoring during the months before the conference. Mentors are expected to join the conference as well (with travel funding available for mentors).
