Call for Papers: NBER Gender in the Economy (03/26) To promote research on gender issues in the economies of developing and developed nations and historically, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), with the support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has formed a Working Group on Gender in the Economy. The Working Group is directed by Jessica Goldberg (University of Maryland and NBER), Claudia Goldin (Harvard University and NBER), and Claudia Olivetti (Dartmouth College and NBER). Further information on the Working Group. The Working Group will convene a one and a half day research meeting in Cambridge, Massachusetts on July 28 and 29, 2026 as part of the NBER Summer Institute. The meeting will feature approximately ten to twelve research presentations and possibly some shorter talks. The GITE Working Group invites submissions on any aspect of gender in the economy, including all genders. We are planning for an in-person meeting in Cambridge, MA. There will not be an option to attend virtually; however, the presentations will be streamed live on the NBER’s YouTube Channel. We will only accept papers, not abstracts. Submitted papers can be less-than-polished drafts. Papers that will be published by July 2026 will not be considered. Authors will be notified in May about whether their papers have been selected. The NBER will cover the travel cost for up to two authors per paper. Please direct questions about this meeting to rshannon@nber.org. The NBER has a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination or harassment at both in-person and virtual meetings. All invitees will be required to agree and comply with the NBER Conference Code of Conduct. 🗓️ Event Dates: July 28 and 29, 2026, Cambridge, MA 🗓️ Submission Deadline: March 26, 2026 to be considered for presentation at the meeting, papers must be submitted by 11:59 pm (EST) Posted 02/09/2026 Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) 2026 Conference (04/9-12) Conference Highlights 200+ Speakers – Leading experts from around the world sharing insights on global health challenges 40+ Panels – Interactive discussions on critical topics shaping the future of global health 500 Abstract – Comprehensive program including workshops, networking events, and special sessions Pre-Conference Workshops – Hands-on sessions to build skills, foster collaboration, and dive deeper into key topics. 🗓️ Event Dates: April 9-12, 2026 | Washington, DC Posted 02/26/2026 Population Association of America (PAA) 2026 Annual Meeting (05/06-9) The PAA Annual Meeting is essential for people at all career stages, but especially important for early career demographers, as you can hear directly from colleagues in these videos Feedback – Receive feedback on your research and methods that will help you develop and get published.

The Summer School Core Module will offer a unique opportunity in 2026 for an in-depth exchange with international thought leaders in the theory, practice, and evolution of using health economic evaluations to inform health technology assessments (HTAs). Under the scientific lead of Prof. Michael Schlander (Heidelberg, Germany) and Dr. Sean Tunis (Baltimore, Maryland), a faculty of experienced scholars, health economists, health care policy makers, ethicists, patient advocates, and HTA representatives from Europe and North America will gather to discuss in an intimate setting the logic of cost effectiveness, the use and misuse of cost effectiveness thresholds, and recent attempts to (better) integrate the experience of patients and the citizens´ perspective in health economics and HTA – against the backdrop of recent geopolitical developments and the challenges posed by OMPs, ATMPs and “precision medicine”.
